"The Solos" refers to a segment of their aerial demonstration where the two solo pilots, Thunderbird 5 and Thunderbird 6, perform dynamic, high-speed maneuvers. These maneuvers often include opposing passes, where the aircraft fly directly at each other and pass by in close proximity, and mirror formations, where one jet flies inverted above the other. "The Solos" showcase the precision, skill, and coordination of the Thunderbirds pilots.

The USAF Thunderbirds maneuver known as the "Delta" involves all six jets flying in a tight, triangular formation resembling the shape of the Greek letter Delta (Δ). This formation is one of the most iconic and visually impressive parts of their aerial demonstration, showcasing their precision and teamwork as they execute synchronized turns, rolls, and other maneuvers while maintaining their tight formation.

The USAF Thunderbirds maneuver known as "Diamond" features four jets flying in a tight, diamond-shaped formation. This formation is a hallmark of the Thunderbirds' demonstrations and showcases their precision and coordination. The jets fly close together, often just a few feet apart, and perform synchronized maneuvers such as loops, rolls, and passes, demonstrating the skill and discipline of the pilots.
