The Blue Angels performed their flyover to salute essential workers in New Orleans.
The flight path was changed slightly on Wednesday to give a chance for more to see the flyover. It has extended to cover the east side of Lake Pontchartrain and looped around.
Check out a quick video of the flyover in New Orleans here:

The flyover began at around 1:45 pm on May 6 and lasted around 20 minutes.
A flight map shows the path the Blue Angels will take as they make their way around the city.
The Blue Angels also flew over Dallas and Fort Worth beginning and Houston. Video of that fly over is below:
Residents were asked to observe the flyover from the safety of their homes and should refrain from traveling to see the flyover, according to the group.
Social distancing should be practiced.
