Fox News
"Top Gun: Maverick" actress Monica Barbaro flew with the U.S. Navy Blue Angels as part of San Francisco's Fleet Week. She was chosen because of the work she does with charities benefiting children.
Barbaro is active in a number of charities to benefit the youth, including the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), The Make-A-Wish Foundation and The Wingman Foundation, which raises money for the families who have lost loved ones in the armed forces. Lori Bashian is an entertainment production assistant for Fox News Digital.
The U.S. Navy Blue Angels honored Barbaro during the flight by posting not only her name, but also her character’s call sign, Phoenix, on the sides of the plane she was in. A post shared by U.S. Navy Blue Angels (@usnavyblueangels)
