The Thunderbirds and Blue Angels Will Do Flyovers Across The Country To Honor Medical Workers
I have to say that this is super cool and exciting!
During the task force briefing on Wednesday, President Trump said that there would be flyovers by the Air Force’s Thunderbirds and the U.S. Navy’s Blue Angels to honor American medical workers.
He didn’t specify which cities they would be visiting. Some will surely be major cities, but he did mention that they could fly over smaller cities as well.
I’m excited to announce that in the coming weeks, the Air Force Thunderbirds – are incredible – and the Navy Blue Angels, equally incredible, will be performing air shows over America’s major cities. What we’re doing is we’re paying tribute to our front line health care workers confronting COVID. And it’s really a signal to all Americans to remain vigilant during the outbreak. This is a tribute to them, to our warriors. Because they are equal warriors to those incredible pilots and all of the fighters that we have for the more traditional fights that we win and we win.
President Trump
Apparently the Air Force’s Thunderbirds already started this past weekend on their own!
After the traditional flyover for the Air Force Academy’s graduation, they went ahead and took a flyover over major cities and medical facilities in Colorado! Way to go Thunderbirds!
We salute Colorado’s healthcare workers and first responders who are at the forefront of our nation’s fight against COVID-19. They are an inspiration for the entire country during these challenging times and it was an honor to fly for them yesterday.

This flyover is the combined idea of the Blue Angels and the Thunderbirds. They are calling the flyover “Operation America Strong”.
The Thunderbirds and the Blue Angels crews … wanted to show support to the American medical workers who just like military members in a time of war are fiercely running forward. I want to see those shows. I’ve seen it many times and I can’t get enough.
President Trump
What a seriously cool tribute! I hope we’re lucky enough to catch some of it over where I live!
