He began his service as a reserve officer in New Philadelphia before moving into full-time police work in Sugarcreek, Dover, and Kent, Ohio. Arnett joined the Kent Police Department in early 2024 and served there for just over a year before leaving in March 2025. A public statement issued by the Kent Police Department indicated that Arnett had become increasingly affected by the war in Ukraine and made the personal decision to leave his post in order to support Ukraine’s defe

The power of the jet, the silence in the cockpit, the rush of inverted flight at 500 miles per hour, Major Jeff Downie lives it every time he takes to the skies as Thunderbird No. 5. During this year’s Cleveland National Air Show, Cleveland 13’s Gremi got exclusive access to the pilot behind one of the most adrenaline-fueled roles in aerial demonstration.

Before taking off, Fitzgerald met with Cleveland 13’s Gremi at the Red Bull helicopter for an exclusive pre-show look. He opened the chopper for a full tour, giving viewers a glimpse inside the aircraft engineered to perform extreme maneuvers. “It’s an incredible machine,” Gremi said after getting inside. “The way Aaron controls it in the sky is something you have to see to believe.”

For Executive Director Kim Dell, Cleveland’s premier Labor Day weekend event is not just a job, it’s a year-round mission. As the force behind the Cleveland National Air Show, Dell orchestrates one of the most complex and thrilling spectacles in the region, all while juggling planning, logistics, marketing, and coordination with the world’s top aviation talent.

Thanks to unprecedented access, Cleveland 13 was embedded with the teams, performers, organizers, and aircraft that brought Labor Day weekend to life in one of the most thrilling air shows in the country. This wasn't just a show, it was a behind-the-scenes pass into what it takes to defy gravity, command the skies, and deliver a performance packed with speed, skill, and spectacle.

Thomas, the founder and president of Vet Fest, started this event with a mission that cuts deep: to stop veteran suicide. “We’re tired of losing our brothers and sisters,” he told me. His voice was steady but heavy with purpose. As a veteran himself, Thomas knows the weight of transitioning to civilian life. The isolation, the unspoken struggles.

Across the country, similar events have earned strong support. Gunnar Edwards, who attended the Des Moines hike on July 12, wrote on Facebook, “If you're a veteran I highly encourage you to check out one of these events in a city near you.” He added, “Well worth the trip and new tan lines.”

The Cleveland National Air Show is set to return to Burke Lakefront Airport over Labor Day weekend, running August 30 through September 1, with an aerial lineup designed to thrill and awe spectators. Among the headliners are the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, the U.S. Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet, and the Red Bull Air Force, all delivering gravity-defying demonstrations.

Despite the claim’s growing popularity, no statements have been issued by the Department of Defense, U.S. Cyber Command, or any branch of the military confirming that such an event took place. There have also been no reports or alerts from cybersecurity agencies, including those that monitor critical infrastructure and defense systems, which would typically investigate and address such significant breaches.

Ukraine launched its most extensive and damaging strike on Russian soil since the start of the war, deploying a clandestine swarm of 117 drones that reached as far as Siberia and damaged or destroyed dozens of strategic bombers on June 1. The operation, dubbed “Spider’s Web,” was the culmination of an 18-month covert mission, according to Ukrainian officials, and marked a dramatic escalation in the conflict just as peace talks were set to resume in Istanbul.
