Planes fly over part of South Hills, Pittsburgh in honor of July 4th holiday

PITTSBURGH — Two T-6 Texan warbird airplanes flew over parts of Pittsburgh and the South Hills in honor of the 4th of July.

The flyover was part of the annual celebration put on in Brentwood. However, nearly all of the event was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The planes performed several maneuvers and released smoke into the sky.
