President Trump says Thunderbirds, Blue Angels will do flyovers across country to honor medical workers
In the coronavirus task force briefing Wednesday, President Trump said
that the U.S. Navy's Blue Angels and the Air Force's Thunderbirds would
be doing flyovers of major American cities in honor of "American medical workers" — and that on July Fourth he would bring back the Independence Day celebration held last year on the National Mall.
"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,"
Trump said. "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."Trump did not say which cities the Thunderbirds and Blue Angels, the U.S. military's two top flight demonstration teams dedicated to showcasing America's air prowess, would be visiting. He mentioned that they could fly over "some of the cities that aren't major cities" as well.
