I'm assuming they fly those plans routinely and just diverted for the day
@AtlasFreeman Sort of, they are the Blue Angels, so they dont fly for military purposes or training. Their whole purpose is to do air shows around the USA and nothing more, of which they do about 60 a year.
So no not exactly though they do fly regularly under normal circumstances.
Again not really the point. the point is this was meant as a "thank you" to the nurses and doctors working front lines.. A thank you they didnt want and just wasted money.. Like i said you could literally just write them a check for the money wasted and they would have done a better job thanking them then they have with this waste of money and pollution.
