A Big WOW Time ?
Having attended more than a few Airshows over the decades, including Miramar and Reno in addition to seeing the Blue Angels
winter-practice outside El Centro many times, it is entertaining, BUT all of the print/TV coverage and "viewer" reactions seems a bit over
the top.
Are people THAT bored ?

The flights were actually about saluting front line medical and first responders, the routes flew over hospitals & care clinics, the doctors
nurses etc would be outside at the scheduled time. Just a symbolic way to let em know how much they are appreciated.
Thats why so much press coverage

I guess I don’t understand,...
Why is it an honor of medical workers to fly Weapons overhead? 
The point of fighter jets is dropping on people’s heads death and mayhem from the sky,...
As a medical worker, how does it honor them to flash weapons overhead in the sky?
Would it also be an honor to flash handguns at the nurses to show them your support?
The best way to honor the health care workers is to practice social distancing, wear a mask when out in public, wash your hands frequently; and lead a
healthy lifestyle that does not contribute too your own obesity and poor health! 
Woke!

Just another brainwashing by the powers that be that the US needs to be the police of the world but in reality it is to exploit the lessor Countries
for their natural resources and or labor...

As a proud US Navy veteran I appreciate seeing this honor displayed

Only a marooon takes weapons to a hospital to “honor” medical workers.
Perhaps you should take high salt, high fat processed food, and cartons of cigarettes to the hospital to honor the “health”-care workers?
Why not take criminals to the police station to honor the popo?
Why not take arsonists to the fire station to honor the firemen? |
And what branch of the US military service did you serve with?

I was prepared just in case as I always am since the unsettling incident many years ago. Titanium undies and a tin foil bike helmet I was good to go.
 
Take care. Be safe.

Just to make things clear, I have the utmost respect for all the Men and Women that have served....
But I detest the Government of the USA and most all others .
Money and energy spent on defense and aggregation could be much better spent on the well being of the populous throughout the world.......

Ah So - I See
But, I don't get it.
Politics aside ............... Why would the would-be honorees be wowed by the (impersonal) City to City to City to City Hot Jocks Sky Tour ?

nation," said Lt. Col. John Caldwell, commander of the U.S. Air Force Air Demonstration Squadron. "We hope to give onlookers a touching display of
American resolve that honors those serving on the frontline of our fight against COVID-19."

Thank you to those health care workers attending to and supporting C-19 patients living in or visiting Baja.
