The flyover we really wanted: This American Hero Flew an Airplane Over Maryland in a Flight Path That Spelled “F— Covid 19”
On Tuesday around 4 PM, a Piper Cherokee took off from Harford County Airport near Churchville, Maryland. Over the next two hours, the pilot flew a complex path that took him as far west as Prettyboy Reservoir and back east as far as Perryville.
