I have blogged about aerial wildland firefighting since 2009. I am not a firefighter and am not a pilot, just an interested bystander who wants to learn more and share what I learn here. Join me here as I blog on the aircraft and the pilots who fight wildland fires from the air in support of crews on the ground. I also blog on concerns affecting fire crews on the ground as well as other aviation and meteorology issues. Learn what it takes to do jobs that are staffed by the best of the best.

Blue Angels and Thunderbirds: April 28th flyover of NYC/NJ/PA/DE to honor healthcare workers
Last week I heard rumors about a flyover of Philadelphia and environs by the Blue Angels and the Thunderbirds to honor our frontline healthcare workers, these rumors are now confirmed. Our flyover in NewYork City, New Jersey, Philadelphia, and Delaware (along with Westchester Count, Nassau County and portions of Connecticut) is on Tuesday, April 28th. I understand that there have been flyovers in other parts of the country and more flyovers of other cities are planned. See this press release from the Department of Defense and this report from the Washington Post. I am too far north and west to see the flyover, perhaps I can catch it on local tv news. But it does not matter to me that I won't see them. It is enough for me that they will be flying over hospitals.
