In honor of Saturday's Air Force Academy graduation, the Air Force Thunderbirds will be flying over several Colorado cities.

The flyovers throughout Colorado are in place of the normal performance the Thunderbirds give to honor the graduation of the cadets. It is also meant as a way to honor Colorado's front line COVID-19 responders for all their hard work and dedication to keeping our nation safe.

This is Saturday's flight path:

Tomorrow’s Colorado Flight Path



Note: the flyover serves as a salute to the healthcare workers, first responders and other essential personnel on the front line against #COVID in the Centennial State 🏔#AirForceSalutes pic.twitter.com/JfZMTfEBA1 — Thunderbirds (@AFThunderbirds) April 18, 2020
