Where to watch the Wisconsin Air National Guard fighter jets flyover saluting health care workers on May 12


Just as the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds have done, Wisconsin Air National Guard pilots in F-16s will fly over cities to salute health care workers and first responders on the front lines of the coronavirus pandemic.

Pilots from the 115th Fighter Wing, based in Madison, will participate in Operation American Resolve, a national campaign to show appreciation to folks battling COVID-19 and everyone supporting them.

Flight demonstration teams from the Navy and Air Force — the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds — have performed flyovers to thank health care workers throughout the U.S. The Blue Angels are scheduled to fly over Chicago on Tuesday.

The flyover is part of the 115th's regular training so air crews can practice arriving at a location at a precise time. Some of the 115th Fighter Wing pilots flying on Tuesday are married to people working in health care.

2. There were Air National guard flyovers in my area recently.

They train frequently so these were not extra flights. Just a change in schedule, destinations, and flight profiles.

3. They contribute to spreading by drawing crowds

very counterproductive. For thinking, concerned people these flyovers actually lower morale because its more of the stupid on display.

4. That was evident on the National Mall recently.

At my location (only one of many in this area) the crowd was well separated but only because of the huge parking lot. At other locations they were packed in and mingling.
