It's been all over the national news about these fly-overs paying tribute to the health-care workers. I am quite sure these people deserve much more than their salary due to these troubled times, but just exactly does it cost to run 5-10 fighter jets/hour?? Who's paying for this (pretty sure I know the answer Cry) ?? IMO, if the carona doesn't sink the economy, dumb thinking/good intentions will Confused.

Both Flight Crews had been booked for Public Shows across the country for years... NO SHOWS this year due to lock down... Just their way of bringing America Together... Saw the Nurses and Doctors , Cops and Fire Fighters in the street and roof tops... Looks like THEY ALL enjoyed it............. more to come this summer !
Like them all, but love the "B"s.

Just tell yourself they Wink are doing training. The Navy has a air base 75 miles from my place so I watch all kinds of jet planes dog fighting and chasing each other around.

It does get hard on the ears when they go straight up, starting right over the top of you. 



By some historians thinking, we are already passed our life expectancy.

I thought it was ironic that the news station was showing videos, chastising people for not obeying the shelter in place orders across the country and really going after the back to work  protesters for not social distancing and in the very next segment showed crowds at the the New York flyover and said just look at the large groups of appreciative healthcare worker that gathered to see them.
