Birds/Blues kickoff America Strong

The Air Force Thunderbirds and Navy Blue Angels demonstration teams made their first appearances in the sky, in a salute to COVID-19 first responders and U.S. troops, over New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania on April 28. The flyovers marked the beginning of the “America Strong” tour, in which the teams will crisscross the nation to honor the everyday heroes. The teams took off from Naval Air Station Pensacola, Fla., before undertaking the pair of flyovers. The first was over Newark, N.J., and New York City; and the second was over Trenton, N.J., and Philadelphia, Pa. At least one hospital in NYC took to social media to express its gratitude for the gesture and share footage of the flight.
