Yesterday at 2:00 pm, with collaboration and approval from the Government of Guyana, two U.S. Navy F/A-18F Super Hornets, from the aircraft carrier USS George Washington, conducted a Guyana Defence Force-coordinated and approved flyover of Georgetown and its surrounding areas.
There were reverberating booms all over the city yesterday as the aircraft flew low in a display that left some baffled and unnerved as fighter planes low in the sky are not a common occurrence here.
A release from the US Embassy said that this exercise built upon the routine security cooperation and bilateral defence partnership with Guyana.
