Blue Angels Flyover of Jacksonville
Jacksonville, FL - Firefighters from Naval Air Station Jacksonville enjoyed a flyover by the US Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron on Friday, May 8th, as part of Operation America Strong. The Blue Angels performed a 20-minute flyover around the greater Jacksonville area to honor all of the front-line responders dealing with the COVID-19 crisis. Six aircraft flew the delta formation with a seventh aircraft flying along with the formation as a photo aircraft. The flyover at Jacksonville was followed by another flyover in Miami before the squadron returned to Naval Air Station Pensacola. RICHARD BILLINGS
