America Strong: Blue Angels and Thunderbirds Salute Philly Healthcare Workers With Flyover

[@richardtriggs]

This was an honorable display of respect to victims and people who have worked front lines. There honor courage and commitment has kept America safe.

[@diane5196]

Amen!!

[@wandamcgann7728]

I believe the flyover was more than just an appreciation for the first responders and the health care workers for the hard work they have done. and the bravery they pursued during this outbreak. Thank you all and Thank you Q+

[@luzy8692]

This is amazing I loved ❤🇺🇸 thank you blue angels 😇 & the thunderbirs 🐦 god bless america 🙏

[@breezyakanan9727]

Go Navy!!! Go Thunderbirds !!!These amazing pilots are some of the most brilliant men and women on planet Earth. They are warriors in the air. They chose to serve our country. All 1st responders are equally brilliant men and woman who chose to serve and care for those in need in the USA. It excites my soul and I sleep well in-spite of threats of war, terrorism and killer viruses known and unknown due to strong minded dedicated doctors, nurses, caregivers , firefighters, medical personnel who are true heroes who are standing tuff and not cowering away in-spite of not having everything they need to fight this pandemic. Bringing forth The Blue Angeles and The Thunderbirds to honor the 1st responders is more than just beautiful air show. Together they are all united Americans working towards the safety and the highest good for every Americans. Every October in SanFrancisco the Blue Angeles fly for Fleet-week. And thousands come out to see them and meet them in-spite of fighting depression, people in wheelchairs, with canes, families who are just missing their loved one who died in war and families supporting their enlisted son and daughter. Our military brings a comfort that far to many Americans take for granted. You complain about the cost of an air show, you complain that doctors and firemen make to much money. You are stuck in hate against people who look different, speak different until someone who is different than you steps up and saves you or a loved one. You hate these people because you are a Christian and he is an atheist or Jew. Never caring that person you chose to hate may be a wounded angel who fought for you in a war. He may have killed many souls so that you can live free. His strong good heart and mind was lost so that you can so that you raise your children in peace and love. Sadly, many veterans see the you as you step over them as you step over him on the street. They see you when shoot and kill the innocent because you hate the color of his skin. They see you when you denied him a place to live because his income is to low. They see you when you selfishly pulled up to the Dollar Store and bought all the toilet paper and cleaning supplies. They saw you in the line to buy all the weapons and ammunition to kill a fellow American if they dare ask you for anything or expected you to be kind. I pray that they never have to see exactly what you are going to do when you money is obsolete and you are out of ammunition and pantry is bare. They will see your eyes search the sky for the Blue Angels and the Thunderbirds whose sound will be a faded memory of days gone by. My Dad was Army WWII MY Uncle was Air Force Pilot WWIl My Brother Army Korea My Brother US Navy All good men who made the choice to serve and protect our country, their country our home because of love life, freedom and for our great country. So if it cost millions of dollar to show our 1st responders that the AMERICAN people love and support their unwavering dedication to fight and save lives know this simple truth. You can’t out give God. 🙏Special Blessings👍 VJM

[@juliomlopezhernandez8196]

The Blues and The Birds...ain't that a beautiful sight?

[@crystalclear8046]

The BLUE ANGELS 💙 make me so proud to be an American-they are phenomenal

[@crystalclear8046]

@Scott Creedon hi Scott first I want to thank you for keeping America safe.i come from a military family.. so I'm sure the transition was a little tricky but once again your putting your life on the line but in a different way..I'm a retired nurse I also took great pride in what I did and I see how hard my fellow colleagues are putting their life on the line everyday..so thank you very much have a great day 🌹

[@mrpikachutravel7573]

Watch this while listening to Jonas Kaufmann singing "Nessan Dorma" makes it really epic

[@alwayslevitated9089]

YES...!!! ✊🏽

[@TheWeekndGaming]

In Canada we were supposed to have one today with the snowbirds (Canadian blue angels) and it got cancelled from bad weather lol

[@perropulgoso3351]

Awesome, finally something nice and positive coming out of the government.

[@stompyou2240]

yes, in the form of showing off some of it's most lethal weaponry. a little ironic but still cool af.

[@parteibonza]

The Thunderbirds are F-16s, and the Blue Angels are F-18s I believe. Best in the world.

[@donniefrissonnie9440]

Correct. In the Thunderbird formation of 6, note that two of them (from various angles, best I can tell- #3 and #4) are D models (two seats rather than one). Those two are carrying external fuel tanks (not bombs LOL). The back seats are empty. The chase ship is also a two seater- probably carrying an airman in the back seat filming. And yes- The Blue Angels are F-18s.

[@Tempus-N0X]

Correct on the aircraft.....although the best show is usually the British red arrows or the Italian tri colore.......they both do stunts that the American teams a blocked from performing....after the Ramstein air base crash in the eighties .....they all put on great shows just the red arrows are a little more edgy AH! Factor wise.

[@tomcampbell3980]

USA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@michaelblanchard9215]

PLEASE Seattle. Portland and Spokane! Please! WE want a fly over!

[@parteibonza]

imagine how loud that was. Two apache helicoptors flew over the Valley yesterday and it shook the ground. This is 13 JETS.

[@2HRTS1LOVE]

I live near a Navy air station, I hear the sound of freedom all the time, lol. It's LOUD from just one or two jets. I've seen the Blue Angels, that's even louder. Add in the Thunderbirds, and it had to be crazy. Very cool, and some great training hours for the pilots.

[@diane5196]

try being near a B1 bomber when they fire their jets and flyover

[@kimberlyrangel9735]

Very 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@lucasthegamerkid9899]

Random ppl: goes see the blue Angels and thunderbirds Me: look at how be this crowd is, this is the opposite of social distancing

[@joycemeadows1821]

Best in the World. So proud if them. We need this beautiful show to ease losses of many to Covid. Ppl get out of a house & enjoy. Looks like everyone would appreciate these jets & pilots of both the Thunderbirds & Blue Angels. Perfect formation. This is America proud & true. Thank u Pres Trump for all u do for us & our country. What a show. We needed this.

[@diane5196]

I couldn't agree with you more!

[@diane5196]

God Bless The USA!!! God Bless our President!! This is a show of respect for those who have dedicated their life to help others or defend our nation in a crisis!!! And to all of the folks who've made negative comments, you should've just stayed in bed. If you can't appreciate the bravery and talent it takes for these pilots to fly like this then go back to watching cartoons.

[@hirowata4320]

Many people are gathering ❗️😱 But I’m sure the immunity has improved ✊️

[@shaunbrx8459]

more herd immunity

Very cool.. this is why I joined the Air Force. Too work on bad ass jets. Eagle Keeper on 76064.

[@v.dargain1678]

Same . Very cool . Salute to force

[@kurosakiscorner5187]

Beautiful... such a beautiful WASTE OF MONEY!

[@tigerrocks503chase8]

Well the Blues have officially transitioned to bigger and louder F/A-18E/F Super Hornet which has replaced the aging ‘Legacy’ Hornet as it was becoming harder to maintain and upkeep overtime as it was starting to become costly from downtime. The Super Hornets are luckily less expensive to maintain as it has 42% less percent structural parts than the Legacy. Transitioning to the F-35 would have been a waste of money as it’s problems still need to be worked out and a single aircraft is ridiculously too expensive. I don’t hate the F-35 as it does have potential....but I’m disappointed with how it’s maintenance and cost make them uncooperative. ☹️ But the Super Hornet transition was a good decision instead of transitioning to F-35s. That would have been a bank breaker. #BringOnTheRhino2021 #BlueAngelsSuperHornet #75YearsOfBlueAngels 😎 💙 💛 But I will continue wearing a mask and social distance to end this nightmare of a pandemic. I do think the money spent on F-35s should be put on hold for now as the money should be used for healthcare and vaccines. TBH I don’t even know where I fall between everyone. I love the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds but I want to keep wearing a mask and social distance only to end this hell of a pandemic. 😓

[@So1othurn]

19:04 The Eagle leads them by.

[@priv8joker]

whoops, what happened to social distancing with the crowd

[@stompyou2240]

imagine those things coming to kill you! social distancing would happen fast lol. thank god i'm an American and don't ever have to worry about getting killed by modern warfare machinery.

[@juliomlopezhernandez8196]

I do not live in fear...

[@alexpro8843]

@Sean Kurtz while i dont belive in a god, i do agree that America is not ready, you have been overriden by confidence, coronavirus is an actual threat, much deadlier than a flu. Though hopefully this will serve as a lesson to human kind, that we need better protocols. For the time being we must listen to the recomendations given by medical profesionals

[@Melanie-jy2nw]

You do realize how expensive these flights are that do nothing to really help. It’s 450,000$ to fly over one city. That money can go to health care workers for masks, to provide tastings and to provide food.

Plesase Please let Washington State Have a fly over. We will scream from every deck. Please I ask of US Military. To have The best of best, US Navy and US Air Force to fly over Seattle.

[@bdahl4002]

Thank you President Trump for thinking about the people. We needed this. It helps.

[@pam0626]

Why is that lone jet flying with the pack?

[@priv8joker]

I think it's for aerial photography or videography

[@pam0626]

Tristan Granados it’s making me nervous! Looks more dangerous than a storm-chasing plane!

[@jreifsnyder2225]

refueling plane -

[@lizr87]

I guess not everybody has seen the blue angels or thunderbirds perform... which is why people keep asking this! I happen to have grown up next to a base that hosts an air show every summer. There is always a solo jet that breaks off from the rest of the pack to do separate tricks. If it has some special purpose beyond that I don't know, but they train this way.

[@diane5196]

I believe they have one break away to honor past Blue Angel and or Thunderbird pilots who have died in training missions

@josh mcpeake no but he as much as you should is worried. This type of events should be cotnroled, because this much people is, irresponsible, ignorant, and disrispefctful to the healthcare workers that are actually dealing with all of this.

[@kimberlyrangel9735]

[@ifraneman07]

LOL so much for personal distancing ! What a joke

[@Michaelbos]

Was this really necessary ? Was it ? Look at all the people gathering to watch stupid planes. Enough with this bullshit.

[@johnburrows5119]

Pure evil.

[@tigerrocks503chase8]

It’s called racism and greed. The Blues and Tbirds represent the opposite as for why they are the hero’s along with all healthcare workers and people who will do their part to end this pandemic.

[@thetripledogdareshow4161]

I don’t see anything benefits but just waste a lot of tax money

Honour the dead, Wtf

[@diane5196]

Oh good grief. This is not to just honor the dead this is to honor those willing to sacrifice their lives for to help others. You know like Healthcare workers, EMT's, those on the front lines of this virus. We are at war with an invisible killer.

[@louisdebattista5801]

well did anyone just notes how much pollution this airplane put out. How stupid is that when it comes to clean air or clear nation. We still don't get it. Sorry that's not a worth to see. Maybe all that money should went for a better healthcare. If people care they should went in font the hospital and Salute, and clap to those people that are doing a great job in this hospital.

[@williamfugere8816]

@Ed MacLane agreed. These planes do stuff like this all the time and now the person commenting on the video cries out about it.
