The Air Force Thunderbirds flew over cities across Colorado’s Front Range on Saturday afternoon in honor of those working on the front lines of the battle against the new coronavirus.
The team was in the state for the Air Force Academy’s graduation earlier in the day.
The fighter jets’ flight path took them first over Greeley, then through Fort Collins, Longmont, Denver, Aurora and then south back toward Colorado Springs and Pueblo.
Here are some photos of the F-16 aircraft that make up the Thunderbirds as they passed over downtown Denver:

The #Thunderbirds flew around #Colorado towns today to honor the actual #patriots during this pandemic – the first responders, nurses, and doctors trying to save people’s loved ones. My neighbors were practicing good social distancing. pic.twitter.com/biAnLkGGqa
