    Coworker in New York saw the blue angles do an arial refueling over his house while we were in a zoom meeting yesterday. Pretty cool to hear on an otherwise boring call. Can't wait for central Texas appearance.

        I was born in the hospital at Bergstrom while my dad was in the Air Force. My dad loved to watch the Thunderbirds fly. I haven't seen them since I was a kid. I may have to take my mom and go watch this in his memory....if I can find out a time and where they will be thru Dallas. if anyone knows or finds a schedule, post up please.

            I read a site that said zero stunts, just a fly over, but still cool to see!

              There is a youtube video just posted about the first flight over NYC.

              From preflight to mid air refueling.

                I was told third hand they would be over Houston tomorrow. Anyone have any details on the actual schedule? They just flew of Philly I think yesterday, I don't see how they skip the other cities on the east coast before coming here.

                  That lines up with what the OP posted but I can't find a flight path or timeline.

                  5.2 Joint Texas Flyover
                  - Dallas
                  - Houston
                  - Austin
                  - Kingsville / Corpus Christi
                  - San Antonio

                    Per the Blue Angels Twitter page, they will be doing a joint flyover tomorrow in Baltimore, DC and Atlanta.

                      Who would have though the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds would have a twitter page?!

                      Thanks, looks like I just need to pay attention to that.

                          From what I saw, it looks like we will get a 48hr notice before they fly in any area. I would think the local news channels will pick that up but I will keep an eye on it also.

                              According to the latest information, the Texas Flyover with be on May 9th instead of May 2nd. I think the weather system we had the past few days may have delayed their original plans. They have also been adding legs (cities) to the original plan.
