SANTA CLARITA, CALIFORNIA – The U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds paid tribute to one of their own – Maj. Stephen ‘Cajun’ Del Bagno, who was killed in a tragic training accident last year on April 4, 2018. The Thunderbirds flew over the home of Del Bagno’s parents in Valencia, Santa Clarita in California. The emotional flyover was performed last Tuesday on March 5, on the day of the world premiere of the ‘Captain Marvel’ movie. The major was a consultant on the movie ‘Captain Marvel’ – the Hollywood superhero movie that premiered nationwide last Thursday. Del Bagno even has a brief cameo in the film and his callsign ‘Cajun’ appears a few times in the background.
