In a novel response to the seriousness of the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, the U.S. Air Force has announced the creation of a new Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) flight demonstration team called the “U.S. Air Force Hummingbirds”. The new team allows drone demonstration pilots to conduct airshows while maintaining social distancing guidelines and airshow fans to watch the unique flight demonstrations remotely from home, including new in-flight perspectives never experienced by airshow crowds.

OK, I know this is an April Fool’s thing, but I kind of want this now:
Have they done any Predator/R eaver or Global Hawk demos in the past?

The thing is, they could probably do this fairly easily with no remote pilots and just computer programming. I have never seen a demo of any autonomous asset.
Anybody want to shop a Blue Angels livery on an MQ-25?

Doing a quick check, I see commercial/non-mil drone teams, but nothing from the USAF or USN.

Hilarious!
My flight instructor lived in north Texas for a while. I can’t remember what airport he was at, but h e talk ed about how strange it was to be in the pattern with a Predator.

Exactly. Is it a good April Fool's joke if the joke is actually a great idea?
