The joint effort from the Navy and the Air Force is part of multiple flyovers across the nation called America Strong — a “collaborative salute” to honor healthcare workers, first responders, and other essential workers as they combat COVID-19.

The flyovers took these routes.

It began in Baltimore shortly before noon.

And then over Washington.

And ended up over Atlanta.

Future destinations are unknown at this time.

A spokesperson for America Strong said no information was being released concerning future flyovers.
