On this [day in 1812](, the U.S. sloop-of-war Wasp engaged the British vessel HMS Frolic. Both vessels were damaged, and when a larger British ship arrived, the Wasp was forced to surrender. The captured Wasp served as HMS Peacock until it was lost off the Virginia Capes the following year. Welcome to The Virginia Flyover, where we cover the Commonwealth from the mountains to the capes.

A Defense Department spokeswoman [told reporters]( she could not provide any information on where the drones came from, where they went, or whether they were operated by a foreign government. The drone flights [lasted 17 days]( and occurred over Naval Station Norfolk and Joint Base Langley-Eustis, which is the base of the F-22 Raptor. Singh said the base commander could have ordered that the drones be shot down, [but she said]( the intruders “didn’t appear to exhibit any hostile intent.” [Article Icon 1]Tony Bennett Retires University of Virginia men’s basketball coach Tony Bennett [announced his retirement]( on Thursday, shortly before the 2024-25 season begins.

The move comes just a week after Bennett sat with reporters at the [ACC Tipoff]( to discuss ways his program is adjusting to life in today’s NCAA, where the proliferation of transfers and licensing deals is presenting challenges to many top programs. Bennett has experienced ups and downs in his career, winning a national title in 2019 just one year after UVA became the first [number 1 seed]( to lose to a 16-seed in the First Round. The Cavs were picked as the [fifth-best team]( in the conference going into the ACC season. [Article Icon 1]Live Music this Weekend It will be a big weekend for live music across Virginia.

Flying together with our sponsor [The Flyover]( [The Future of Pain Relief]( Kailo is an all-natural pain patch that is designed to relieve pain anywhere on your body in as little as 60 seconds. When you experience pain, it’s typically the result of electrical signals being sent from the location of the pain to your brain. The worse the pain, the stronger the signal. [Kailo’s microcapacitors]( communicate directly with the brain’s electrical system, telling it to “turn down the volume” of the pain signal (like a “bio-antenna”). This allows your brain to send help, reducing the pain immediately. [Kailo doesn’t use medicine or drugs, so nothing foreign or toxic enters your body.]( [Around Texas] ➤ Richmond: The Department of Medical Services intends to use its $95 million reserve fund to cover delayed Medicaid payments for fiscal year 2025 as it works to determine who will remain eligible for the joint state-federal program.
