May 5 (UPI) -- The U.S. Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron, also known as the Blue Angels, will fly over Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston and New Orleans on Wednesday to honor frontline workers fighting the COVID-19 pandemic.
The display is part of a multi-city tour dubbed Operation America Strong, which has visited six cities -- including Washington, D.C. and New York City -- in the last week.
According to the Navy, during Wednesday's display a formation of six F/A-18C/D Hornet aircraft will start with a 35-minute display over Dallas/Fort Worth beginning at 11 a.m. Central time, then proceed to Houston for a 30-minute display beginning at 12:30 p.m.
The New Orleans flyover will begin at 1:45 p.m. and last roughly 20 minutes.
"America Strong is about showing how much we, as a nation, count on our frontline responders and that we have their back just like they have had ours," Cmdr. Brian Kesselring, U.S. Navy Blue Angels commanding officer and flight leader for the flyover, said in a statement.

Typical mentality of government employees.
Spending boatloads of money on self-congratulation and grandstanding.
All the air shows have been cancelled this year anyways may as well keep in practice.

Thanks ! My son is in Ft Worth today.
Thanks for the post. If they fly at 1500 feet as they’re said to have in NYC, they should be very visible - and audible.
It was funny; either on Thursday 4/30 or Friday 5/1 I heard multiple fighter jets flying by too fast to be landing at DTW. I ran out of the garage but they escaped my eyesight because of their speed, then maybe 5 minutes later another flight of two F-16's (I think) flew past same direction and speed flying southwest. About 2000 feet and at least 200 knots.
Here within 5 or 6 miles of Detroit Metro Airport fighter jets are a very rare sight or sound.
Maybe we will get to see them as they fly from Dallas to Houston as we are in Huntsville.
Just flew right over my front yard! They were gone before I could snap a picture.
