The U.S. Air Force Air Demonstration Squadron, the Thunderbirds (top) and the U.S. Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron, the Blue Angels, fly in formation together over the Eastern Seaboard, April 28, 2020. The Thunderbirds and Blue Angels performed a flyover together that was part of “America Strong,” a collaborative salute from the Air Force and Navy to recognize healthcare workers, first responders, military, and other essential personnel while standing in solidarity with all Americans during the coronavirus pandemic.
