Did you see or hear the Blue Angels’ flyover on Thursday?
To honor frontline COVID-19 responders and essential workers, the U.S. Navy Flight Demonstration, the Blue Angels, flew over Tennessee and Arkansas. Six F/A-18C/D Hornet aircraft conducted the flyovers. Flyovers in Nashville started at 12:00 p.m. (CDT) and lasted roughly 17 minutes.
“This is our opportunity to salute each American in the fight against COVID-19,”said Cmdr. Brian Kesselring, U.S. Navy Blue Angels commanding officer and flight leader for the flyover.
