The Navy’s Blue Angels flight demonstration team will join a group of Air Force and British aviators in an Aug. 22 aerial parade over the Hudson River in New York City. The Blues’ six F/A-18s will join the AF’s Thunderbirds F-16s, and nine Royal Air Force Red Arrows’ Hawk T1s for the event. The parade was made possible by a stroke of scheduling. The three teams are all conducting flight shows in the New York area on Aug. 24-25. The aircraft will follow the river to Liberty Island before returning back up the river. The Thunderbirds will then return to Rochester International Airport, with the other aircraft flying to Stewart Airport. The NW Florida-based Blue Angels’ air show is at New Windsor, N.Y.
