Blue Angels to Salute North Texas Frontline Workers With Flyover on Wednesday
Blue Angels web site ^ | 4 May 2020 | Blue Angels

The U.S. Navy Blue Angels will fly above North Texas on Wednesday to honor health care workers and first responders on the front line of the fight against COVID-19.

U.S. Rep. Kay Granger (TX-12) made the announcement Monday morning on her website, saying the flyover will occur over Fort Worth at 11 a.m. and last roughly 35 minutes.

“I’m proud to partner with the Navy to bring the Blue Angels to Fort Worth, showcasing our community’s deep appreciation to the brave doctors, nurses, first responders, and essential workers on the frontlines of our nation’s fight against the coronavirus,” Granger said in a statement on her website.

Further details on the Blue Angels’ path have not yet been released.

“These are unexpected, unprecedented times, but I know our community and country will emerge stronger than before. I’m proud to bring this display of national unity and support for those keeping our communities safe to Texas 12.”

The Blue Angels last week flew over Washington, D.C., Philadelphia and New York City.

I usually don’t go in for the non-substantive “displays of support,” but this is pretty cool, no matter what the occasion. The Blue Angels were heroes of mine growing up. Of all of my male peers.

Here in Fort Worth, we have what’s called “Ovation Thursdays” where you’re supposed to stand out in front of your house at 7:00 pm and clap or make some kind of loud noice to “support” emergency personnel. Yawn.

The "U.S. Military Display Teams Chemtrail Covid Cleansing Tour 2020" moves to North Texas.

Everybody knows that the Blue Angels and the Thunderbirds are using their smoke-producing equipment to inoculate our major cities with Hydroxychloroquine in order to rid our country of this Chinese biological attack.

Propaganda shows for the heroic healthcare tic-tock video makers. This is like something out of the USSR.

I hear this year’s wheat harvest will exceed the goals of the 5 year plan!

Used to vacay down on Ft. Morgan in AL. Would hear them in the morning flying up and down the beach. Would run out with a towel and wave it at them and they gave me my own, personal show! LOVE THEM! ❤ Incredible flyers!

Never saw the Blue Angels, but would like to. Saw the Thunderbirds at Air Force graduationa and once at an air show.
