Blue Angels To Flyover Long Island To Honor Coronavirus Workers (Patch)
The Blue Angels and Thunderbirds are going on a multi-city tour to thank first responders and essential workers.
The U.S. Navy Blue Angels and Air Force Thunderbirds will flyover Long Island soon as part of a multi-city tour to thank first responders and essential workers for their efforts during the coronavirus pandemic.
The Washington Post Wednesday confirmed rumors that had been circulating on social media for days that the demonstration squadrons would be soaring through the air to honor those on the frontlines of the pandemic.
Hours later, during a coronavirus briefing, President Donald Trump said the flyovers would "show support to the American medical worker." Each squad costs at least $60,000 per hour to fly, the Post reported.
