Extends congressional condolences to the families of the four Air Force pilots who died during training for the Thunderbird precision flying team at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada, on January 18, 1982, and all other airmen who have died during such practices or performances. Expresses the sense of Congress that: (1) all Armed Forces precision flying teams should be discontinued by the Department of Defense; (2) the achievements of such teams should be commemorated by service museums and histories; and (3) a gold medal should be struck for each airman who has died while serving in a military precision flying team.
