Blue Angels To Fly Over Greenwich Today: Submit Your Photos

GREENWICH, CT — The U.S. Navy Blue Angels will fly over Greenwich Tuesday afternoon as part of a tri-state trip to honor coronavirus responders and essential workers. The Blue Angels will take to the skies over New York City, Newark, Trenton and Philadelphia, as well as a portion of Greenwich and Stamford, according to the tri-state flight path on their Facebook page Monday.

The flight over NYC will begin around noon over the George Washington Bridge. From there they'll head south over Manhattan, loop over Newark, N.J., and be above Queens around 12:20 p.m. (To sign up for Greenwich breaking news alerts and more, click here.)

The jets will then head east over Long Island, loop up to Greenwich and Stamford, then down over New York and Brooklyn a second time, wrapping up the flight around 12:40 p.m.

News 8 meteorologist Gil Simmons retweeted a picture of the NYC-area flight path Monday afternoon and said it "should be visible from Greenwich and Stamford" on Tuesday.

Darien Police also shared a picture of the flight path and said the flyover would be "occurring in [the] area" Tuesday.

As the flyover will only be visible in some areas of town, we'd like to have some fun and ask readers who see it to submit their photos and/or videos of the blue angels as they soar over Greenwich this afternoon. If we receive enough, we'll compile them into a roundup for everyone to enjoy.

Residents along the flight path can expect a few seconds of jet noise as the aircrafts pass overhead, along with the sight of 12 high-performance aircrafts flying close in precise formation. Officials are discouraging people from traveling to landmarks and hospitals or gathering in large groups to view the flyover.

The New York City Police Department has confirmed the show will involve eight Thunderbird F-16 jets and seven Blue Angel jets all flying around 1,500 feet above the ground. Police say they expect the show to be visible from Manhattan to Staten island and Brooklyn.
