The US Navy Blue Angels and US Air Force Thunderbirds performed a very rare joint flyover above New York City, Trenton, Newark, and Philadelphia on April 28, 2020 to honor health care and essential workers fighting the COVID19 pandemic. The teams departed from NAS Pensacola in Florida and were refueling midflight by four KC10 Extenders before returning back to Pensacola.

Flyovers will continue around the country under the name Operation America Strong.
