NYC Flyover

On April 28, the US Air Force Thunderbirds and the Navy’s Blue Angels flight demonstration squadrons performed flyovers over and around New York City, Long Island, New Jersey, and Philadelphia in a collaborative salute to the essential employees and emergency workers serving during the ongoing spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. The formation of six USAF F-16C/D Fighting Falcons and six US Navy F-18C/D Hornets performed the flyovers to recognize all the healthcare workers, first responders, military, and other essential personnel while standing in solidarity with all Americans during this troubling time.

Wayne Chiuu: Beautiful group formation precision flying by our Thunderbirds and Blue Angels, symbols of our strength. Thank You. WE WILL WIN THIS BATTLE! Two thumbs up, gentlemen.

Norman Sease: Great job men! Wonderfully flown by excellent pilots. Sal Calvagna: In anticipation of the Long Island portion of the flyover, I brought my good camera and lens to work with me. Boy, did I ever get a great show! Amazing sight.
