Millions Were Thrilled, Encouraged, and Inspired by Flyovers
Well... it sure was fun while it lasted... but a tweet seen Monday on the Blue Angels twitter account indicates that the joint flyovers conducted by the Blue Angels and the Thunderbirds are at an end... though each team will engage in individual flyovers in the coming days.
The Thunderbirds spilled the beans a bit as well, tweeting that, "It has been an honor to fly with the @BlueAngels the last two weeks in support of #AmericaStrong. We are headed back to Nellis AFB today and will announce our upcoming individual flyovers in the coming days. Stay tuned here for updates!"
And then, the Blues offered some additional info... "The Thunderbirds and @BlueAngels will continue to honor frontline COVID-19 responders with individual team flyovers. There are no additional joint flyovers planned at this time. Our next flyover will be announced in the coming days. Stay tuned here for updates! #AmericaStrong"
The Blue Angels are already scheduled for some flyovers on Wednesday, May 6th, that should take them over Dallas, Ft. Worth, New Orleans and Houston.
As previously noted, residents near the flyover locations are urged to see the flyover from the safety of their home- quarantine and should maintain all social distancing guidelines during this event. They should also refrain from traveling to landmarks, hospitals and gathering in large groups to view the flyover.
A more detailed flight route will be released on Tuesday, the day prior to the flyover.
The teams still welcome and encourage viewers to tag the flyovers on social media with the hashtag #AmericaStrong.
