The Solano Thunderbirds were an independent collegiate wood bat baseball team based in Vacaville, California, in the United States.[1] They were owned by Curtis, Susan and Byrant Stocking and played their home games at Travis Credit Union Park in Vacaville. They were members of the Sierra Baseball League and the Horizon Air Summer Series.

They succeeded the Western Baseball League's Solano Steelheads as Travis Credit Union Park's primary tenant but has never shared in the excitement or crowds enjoyed by Bruce Portner's Steelheads drawing fewer than 100 people to most of its games.

Due to the poor management of the Thunderbirds, they ran up debt in the millions of dollars and were forced to close down the franchise leaving Vacaville with no baseball team.
