It was a fun weekend full of fantastic surprises and adventure. But here in the neighborhood, people got their own air show. This from Jack Kennedy, Pastor of Church of the Living Savior.
"Phillies fans at Citizens Bank Park were treated to a pre-game flyover on Memorial Day evening by two A-10 Warthogs and a C5A transport, but residents of the 21st Ward were treated to three flyovers as the formation circled Roxborough and vicinity in a holding pattern before their game time appearance. Observers saw the three jets fly over Roxborough from east to west and then bank north. On the fourth pass they headed south at even lower altitude ("like they were following Silverwood St." said one onlooker) for the stadium. Television viewers saw a brief pre-recorded clip of the flyover shortly before the first pitch."
