Good morning usnavyblueangels fans!

Today we had the opportunity to fly one of Owensboro’s hometown heroes, Tyler Grant, prior to the #owensboroairshow 

Tyler is an engineer with the Owensboro Fire Department. In a selfless act of heroism in January 2024, he donated a kidney to save his sister-in-law’s life without hesitation, driven by his belief that if he has the ability to help, he should. Following the successful surgery, Tyler returned to work at the Owensboro Fire Department, eager to resume his duties and continue his commitment to serving others. Tyler’s dedication goes beyond fulfilling his role as a firefighter. He actively mentors and trains others to excel in their profession, embodying the qualities of a true professional. His involvement in the Special Operations Team, particularly during deployments to assist in disaster-stricken areas like tornado zones, highlights his readiness to step into challenging situations for the benefit of his community. During the air show, Tyler will be providing water rescue services, ensuring the safety of all participants, further solidifying his status as a hero both in his profession and in his personal life.

Our Key Influencer Program aims to showcase the hardwork and dedication of people who give so much to their local communities. Every airshow nominates a key influencer and they are given a backseat ride before the airshow by Lt. Connor O’Donnell, Blue Angel #7.
