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.
