Thunderbirds Fly High Over EPCOT This Morning
Earlier this morning, The United States Air Force Thunderbirds tweeted that they would be doing a special flyover Walt Disney World this morning. While they did not state exactly which Park they would be flying over in an effort to avoid crowding, we headed to social media to learn that the Thunderbirds flyover was for EPCOT!
Heads up, Orlando!
If weather permits today, we’ll conduct our site survey for the @LockheedMartin Air & Space Show and kick-off National Veterans & Military Families Month with a @WaltDisneyWorld flyover in honor of current & past military members as well as fallen warriors. pic.twitter.com/T5HTY1hK4R

But, we didn’t stop there! Since we couldn’t be there live, we wanted to get a video to share with all of our followers. And, we found one thanks to the people at L’Artisan des Glaces (Instagram: @artisandesglace) in the France Pavilion at EPCOT. Check it out!
The Thunderbird flyover EPCOT this morning was held to honor past and current members of the military and the warriors that fell in battle. It was also held to secure the flight path for the upcoming Lockheed Martin Air & Space Show and kick-off National Veterans & Military Families Month.

This isn’t the first time the Thunderbirds have made a pass by EPCOT and Walt Disney World. The Thunderbirds made a pass over the Magic Kingdom and Cinderella Castle back in October 2010. Then, back in May of 2019, the United States Navy Blue Angels flew over the Magic Kingdom and EPCOT.
