Blue Angels/Thunderbirds fly by?

Featured Replies

Interesting.  I've not seen mention of it on the pilot bulletin board I follow, but it's plausible.  They (maybe just the Thunderbirds) did a similar flyby in Colorado a few days ago, to honor first responders and those in the medical profession.

My wife sent me that...I don’t know the source, or if there is any validity to it. 
 

Would be an awesome sight to see if it is true!! 

My niece's boyfriend has a civilian procurement position supporting the Blue Angels. I have a question in for him. I'll let you know what I hear back.

KYW and other news media are reporting it's NOT true. The same rumor was out for NYC for today as well.

 

Blue Angels have no plans for Philadelphia flyover amid coronavirus pandemic despite internet rumors

The response was I have no details on a flyover.  He may not be able to talk about it. I know he came to visit my niece in NJ from the state he lives in and when he got back he got a call from a Colonel  I guess they tracked his phone. He wasn't supposed to leave his state.

Trump just announced that they will be doing flyovers together during his briefing.

Blues doing Flyovers in certain cities.  From their Twitter feed.

America Strong: Blue Angels, Thunderbirds to Conduct Multi-City Flyovers Championing National Unity Behind Frontline Responders

I am very jealous of a friend of mine in Morrisville PA across from Trenton. She will go down to the the river and hopes to see 3 flyovers. I was hoping for a shore run. Oh well. 

Hmmm...I could trail the formation in the Skyhawk for a good portion of either route even if I couldn't get a Class B clearance over Philly or the NYC airports during the flyby...shouldn't be lagging more than an hour or two behind the pack the the end of the route.  Do you think folks would stay outside the extra time to wave at me?  :-)

Any chance of a bombing run over Trenton?

A6 Intruders w/ Willem DaFoe, lol?

 

Enjoy the flybys for those that can see it.

Blue Angels do a show here every fall. Just saw them a few months ago on practice day, no crowds. Great show. Had an F35 do it’s practice show too.

Can’t see them in this pic, but we were able to see them from The Sandy Hook Bayshore down the street. We watched them fly East over the Verrazano and out over Long Island where they turned North and we lost them.

About 15 minutes later they flew South, down the East River, over the bay, gained altitude and flew to the Raritan River where we lost them.

Heard them. But no visual 

I saw them as they flew over Lodi area.   Loud.  Looked like a flock of birds coming until they made a hard right turn and exposed the bellies of the planes.

Book was sooooooo much better.

And the “sequels” by the same author weren’t horrible. 
 

I couldn’t see or hear them where I am. They basically flew 270 degrees around me. I was on the tarmac with the FD for the Mcquire air show and got to see Thunderbirds up close. That was fantastic.
