Lauderdale County officials were recognized Monday for helping Naval Air Station Meridian host the Navy Blue Angels flight demonstration squadron last month.
Capt. Luke Davis, commanding officer on board NAS Meridian, said the Blue Angels and other acts participating in the Wings Over Meridian performance were impressed with the welcome and hospitality they received.
“They all commented, and I mentioned this at our other meetings, but they don’t get the type of treatment that they found here in Meridian at most other places that they go to,” he said. “We got our last debriefing from them on Friday, and they can’t wait to come back.”
Davis said Lauderdale County’s support for NAS Meridian and the Wings Over Meridian air show is greatly appreciated.
“Thank you all so much for supporting the air show and being such great partners,” he said.
