Thunderbirds over San Diego and Orange County: May 15, 2020

As part of the America Strong series of flyovers saluting healthcare workers and first responders, the USAF Thunderbirds performed a series of flyovers of San Diego and Los Angeles medical facilites. I watched their flight from a socially distanced altitude of approximately 4500'

After the San Diego portion of the flyover, the Thunderbirds refueled, giving me time to head up to Orange County. They few a slightly different route than previously published, so I wasn't in as good a position to see them. I did catch a moment where #6 performed an emergency breakout. News footage of it here
