Blue Angels fly over Fort Worth to thank those fighting the coronavirus pandemic
The Navy’s Blue Angels said thank you Wednesday morning.
As they flew in formation over cities stretching from McKinney to Fort Worth, they showed support for health care and other essential workers who are helping fight the coronavirus pandemic.
“We salute and thank all healthcare workers, first responders, and other essential personnel serving on the front lines of the fight against COVID-19,” the Blue Angels tweeted, adding the #AmericaStrong hashtag.
It took the aircraft — a formation of six F/A-18C/D Hornet aircraft — about 30 minutes to fly over North Texas medical centers, beginning at 11 a.m. in McKinney before crossing over a number of North Texas cities and circling over downtown Dallas and Fort Worth.
After the flyovers in North Texas, the aircraft headed to Houston and New Orleans for similar tributes.
