They’re using the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds to spread hydroxychloroquine over the city through their chemtrails.

Outstanding show! Seeing them fly over the Statue of Liberty gives me goosebumps.A few years back the Blue Angels appeared at an Air Force base located within a mile of where my sister lives.I got to see them do practice runs over her neighborhood a couple of days before the show.Breathtaking!

Watched the whole video. Awesome footage! Refueling looks like it takes exceptional skill.

Some observations just from the first moments.

Look at the upside-down “5” on the Thunderbird. The names on the righthand side are the crew chief ‘Owners” of the aircraft, the Pilot just gets to use the a/c.

Look at the difference in the landing gears between the F-16 and the F/A-18 of the Blue Angels! Carrier landings NEED heavy duty!

Hard to believe that both aircraft came out of the 1970s USAF “Light Weight Fighter” program. The YF-16 from General Dynamics won the fly-off but Northrup’s YF-17 was ‘evolved’ through the USN’s Naval Fighter Attack Experimental (VFAX) program into the F/A-18 Hornet that has now evolved into the “Super Hornet”.

The Blue Angels are still flying the Hornet but will be transitioning to the Super Hornets in 2021. Lockheed-Martin now builds the F-16s but only for the export market. Boeing is the manufacturer for the F/A-18E/F Super Hornets. 46 years for both designs, good value I’d say!

I lived in Vegas back in the sixties and Nellis is homebase for the Thunderbirds. They were flying F-100 Super Sabers in those days and every once in a while I’d see some F-86 Sabers with the Thunderbird design on them. Boy am I getting/old.
