Pictures of the Day: Blue Angels honor first responder

Whenever the Blue Angels perform at an airshow, a local person is selected for a flight in one of the Blues’ jets. At this year’s show, SUN ‘n FUN officials were adamant that person would be someone who was on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic. They reached out to Lakeland Regional Health and officials there nominated Medical Intensive Care unit manager Regina Wilkins. She got her chance to fly with Blue Angels No. 7 on April 14 during the show.
