FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) — The 122nd Fighter Wing in Fort Wayne flew over the city’s hospitals on Tuesday to salute the health care workers fighting the coronavirus.

Just after 11 a.m., a ship of four A-10s flew side-by-side as part of the “Air Force Salutes” flyover.

The flyover began at Lutheran Hospital, headed downtown to pass over St. Joseph Hospital, moved over Parkview Randallia and the VA Northern Indiana hospital, turned north to Parkview Regional Medical Center and Dupont Hospital, then flew back over downtown Fort Wayne.

“Air Force Salutes flyovers are a way for the Air National Guard to show appreciation to the thousands of heroes at the front line of battling COVID-19,” the 122nd said in a news release Monday. “The flyovers are also intended to lift morale in cities across America due to the severe health and economic impacts that have resulted from COVID-19.”
