Not every aircraft departure is routine.
Yesterday, members of IAFF Local I-77 had the privilege of honoring the athletes of Special Olympics New Jersey with a water arch salute as they departed Trenton-Mercer Airport for the 2026 USA Games in Minneapolis.
Behind every seat on that aircraft is a story of determination, resilience, and achievement. We were proud to recognize those accomplishments and help send Team New Jersey on their way in a memorable fashion.
We wish all of the athletes safe travels, great success, and an unforgettable experience representing our state on the national stage.
Bring home the memories, make lifelong friendships, and most importantly, enjoy the journey. New Jersey is rooting for you every step of the way. 🇺🇸🏅
