Blue Angels and Thunderbirds Flyover of NY/NJ/PA: videos

As many of you already know, On Tuesday April 28th, the U.S. Navy Blue Angels and the U.S. Airforce Thunderbirds did a joint flyover of New York City, New Jersey, Long Island, Westchester County New York, portions of Connecticut, portions of central and southern New Jersey, Philadelphia Pennsylvania, and Wilmington Delaware. See my April 27th article for more information.

The flyover was to honor the frontline medical and other essential workers.

I am going to share some of my favorite video highlights of the flyover with regrets that I can not show videos from all the flyovers of all the areas.

I start with the only video that is a news report, this one from NBC 4 in New York City from April 28th. I share this video because you will some footage of flyovers of hospitals in New York City and Newark New Jersey.

Here are two videos of footage over New York City. The first video is shot from an area in Jersey City (across the Hudson River from New York City) shot from a neighborhood known as Jersey City Heights. This is great footage with sound of the flyover over the Hudson River. The footage is embedded from the HMag Twitter Account.

I really enjoyed this footage from Penn Live, you hear great fighter jet sounds and there is great footage shot from the ground of the flyover over Philadelphia. From the point of view of an aviation lover, this is my favorite.
