I was wondering what that was?! Rarely have jets pass so low that you hear them here! Thanks for the post!

I was close to the hospital here in Greenwood and decided to go to hospital parking lot to watch. The entire lot was full. About 10 firetrucks, emt's, police cars and a bunch of people. Any hospital staff that could come outside were there. Probably over a hundred of them. When the Jets flew over, I had chills and eyes got misty. (I do that at Clemson fly overs, too). Didn't take long for the fly over, but it sure was emotional. I thanked as many officers, paramedics and fire fighters that I could. I sure appreciate them!!

26 Million unemployed, millions more taking substantially paycuts, small - midsized businesses shuttered and bleeding cash. Many business owners lifes work potentially destroyed and we’re thanking firefighters and 1st responders ?

A nice gesture sure, but you have to wonder who came up with that idea? What a waste of money that could have been put to much better use. Imagine all the ppe that could have been purchased and sent to hospitals in need around the country.
This country has it's priorities all screwed up.

All military motorized equipment has to have Preventive Maintenance Checks and Sevices (PMCS) performed periodically which includes a driving test on trucks, tanks, airplanes etc. Maybe they decided to make these flyovers a part of their PMCS. Regardless, I think it was a great move on the part of our military.

A garbage truck just flew through my neighborhood to honor the millions of unemployed for absolutely NO REASON!
By the way jets have to train, pilots have to have hrs, no additional cost, just changed the routes.
