Friday Fun: Blue Angels Over Annapolis

 I have been following the aftermath of the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore on Baltimore media where I learned that Blue Angels flew over Annapolis on May 21st. I enjoy watching the Blue Angels and thought that you might too. Here is a four minute video of highlights of their performance.

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.

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.

Friday Fun: Fort Lauderdale FL May 2019 Airshow

I am currnetly working on some ideas that I hope will be upcoming reflection pieces. In the meantime, I am taking a break from my writing to find something fun to post for you. I found this video on Youtube showing footage of the Fort Lauderdale FL 2019 airshow. The footage is a lot of fun and it includes the Blue Angels as well as other airplanes, some performing aerobatics and some doing fly overs. The footage is about 20 minutes long. Enjoy.

RIP Capt Jeff Kuss -- Blue Angels 6

I want to pause today and remember Captain Jeff Kuss, pilot of Blue Angels 6, who died on June 2nd when Blue Angels 6 (F18) crashed in Smyma Tennessee. The Blue Angels airshow scheduled for this coming weekend, a part of the Great Tennessee Airshow, has been cancelled. Captain Kuss, 32, leaves a wife and two children. Please join me in remembering Captain Kuss, may you always fly in favorable tail winds. My thoughts and prayers are with Captain Kuss's family, friends, Blue Angels team, and all who love him.
