Viewing the Thunderbirds & Blue Angels from the Upper West Side

To honor essential workers and those on the frontline during the coronavirus crisis, the US Air Force Thunderbirds and Navy Blue Angels flew over several cities on the afternoon of Tuesday, April 28th. The flyover began over the George Washington Bridge.

Quite a few people got to enjoy the spectacle from their Upper West Side apartments, and from Riverside and Central Parks.

If you didn’t get to see it live, enjoy the following photos and videos!
