Blue Angel's multi-city flyover... morale boost!

[DadSmith]

I was lucky enough to have seen and heard 3 B-1B bombers that seemed to be terrain following headed north of our position at full afterburner. It was amazing. It seemed like they passed over head at about 100-150. That was awe inspiring. A-10's in action is also spectacular.

Those aren't the blue angels

Maybe one of your neighbors called in air support.

You haven't been yelling "Aloha Snackbar" lately have you?

I happened to be outside and they flew directly over me. Felt like a personalized show, quite a surprise privelege.

Actually it was part of an aerial reconnaissance mission do identify people outside their homes and round them up for the Camps

Guess all us northerners warranted was a King Air flyover this weekend; then again he/she may just have been practicing approaches into EKM.

Oh good, I was waving when they took my picture. Maybe that'll earn me a cot near the window.

With commercial airlines shut down, this is the Feds way of spraying mind control onto the populus. Quick! Run outside, look up, and breathe deep.

Why are we wasting jet fuel for a flyover?

What purpose this this server apart for spending money?

Waste of fuel? Keeping our pilots flight ready is a waste? With the complexity of today's aircraft, all flight time is valuable.

Also right now the world is overflowing in fuel, so fuel itself is not a price concern.

Might as well use the flight pay in a good way.

I assume it was the Blue Angels (jets in formation) just flew over my place near Lake Lemon, headed towards Indy.

Why are we wasting money on a Deathstar that can be blown up by some green kid from a hick planet?

Pretty neat one today. I drove up to the IU Health parking lot to watch, plenty of other people there. Every roof and parking garage had people on it.

Saw them fly over or fly-by four times from 2:02 to 2:12. Sound is way behind them, makes it hard to spot sometimes

 

[T.Lex]

Saw them up north, too. #FlyNavy

I couldn't catch a good pic this time, but here's one from someone else

 

[bwframe]

Thanks for the pic!

They were too high when they came over here to see much other than jets in formation, going away. I heard them coming from inside though. Poked my head out the window to see.

Folks on these flight teams do not fly combat missions.... it's all show and entertainment.

They can be called into action if needed. At a Blue Angels practice, they said it doesn't take long to go from show plans to combat plans on the planes.
