April 13, 2020
The U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds performed a 30-minute flyover Saturday afternoon above 16 Las Vegas area hospitals as a tribute and thank you to all the front line healthcare workers.
"We were looking at how we could continue to fly and also give back to the community with a salute to the real heroes out there on the front lines who are keeping us safe from the virus," said Brig. Gen. Robert Novotny.
People were able to watch from their yards from many places in the valley.
Bravo, Thunderbirds!
