In the coronavirus task force briefing Wednesday, President Trump said that the U.S. Navy's Blue Angels and the Air Force's Thunderbirds would be doing flyovers of major American cities in honor of "American medical workers" — and that on July Fourth he would bring back the Independence Day celebration held last year on the National Mall.
"I'm excited to announce that in the coming weeks, the Air Force Thunderbirds – are incredible – and the Navy Blue Angels, equally incredible, will be performing air shows over America's major cities," Trump said. "What we're doing is we're paying tribute to our front line health care workers confronting COVID. And it's really a signal to all Americans to remain vigilant during the outbreak. This is a tribute to them, to our warriors. Because they are equal warriors to those incredible pilots and all of the fighters that we have for the more traditional fights that we win and we win."
Trump did not say which cities the Thunderbirds and Blue Angels, the U.S. military's two top flight demonstration teams dedicated to showcasing America's air prowess, would be visiting. He mentioned that they could fly over "some of the cities that aren't major cities" as well.

SQUIRREL!!!!
Dumb! Open America up. People that lost their businesses are going to get sick of hearing those that still have their jobs are the heroes.
The Thunderbirds did this Saturday, after flying over the Air Force Academy graduation.
Yes, no foolin’ This crap has gone to far.
Talk to your governor.
And your county executive. And your mayor.
Everyone from our gov on down is a gutless wonder.
I’ll get to wear my “Flight Line” Blue Angels T shirt. I bought it at the Museum of Naval Aviation Blue Angels Flight line
They practice two days a week at NAS Pensacola and admission is free
Cheering for medical workers is understandable now and politically easy. But a decision on when we get back to business should not be delegated to them. They are seldom laid-off. They will be biased in favor of avoiding risk, close-downs, and letting governments try to meet needs by printing money or confiscating property.
Thunderbirds are go.
I’m in Upstate NY. Need I say more.
There is a certain bread and circuses aspect to this, however [it did work for the Roman Emperors I would just note].
Interestingly, we are opening up a good bit in Georgia this week. Going to the gym tomorrow and to get a hair cut. Then eat at a local restaurant on Monday. If, and it’s a big if, Kemp doesn’t cave now that Trump has fed him to the wolves.
HIDE YOUR NUTS!
The Thunderbirds are currently at NAS Pensacola, and are practicing off shore, the leader (which group is ???)checked in with Pense tower as a flight of 15 and used the call-sign of “BlueBirds”.......cute
Jealous ?
Why don’t US Marshals make arrests all over the country to celebrate the end of the Deep State coup? That’s a display of power I could support.
