On Saturday, the US Air Force ‘Thunderbirds’ did a flyover above Las Vegas to show support and gratitude for medical workers on the frontlines battling the deadly COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak.
The US Air Force Air Demonstration Squadron, also known as the Thunderbirds, flew over Las Vegas in support and appreciation for healthcare workers tackling the ongoing spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, characterizing them as “true heroes” of the “nation’s fight against the coronavirus”.
The Thunderbirds shared a video of their flyover on their YouTube account.
Netizens loved the gesture, providing additional angles of the flyover via Twitter.
The Saturday flyover featured eight F-16 Fighting Falcons, which soared above Las Vegas starting at 2:30 p.m. and lasting about 25 minutes.
Some, lucky enough to watch the show from their house windows, claimed to be enjoying “the sound of freedom”.
As of 12 April, there are over 547,000 confirmed cases of the deadly pandemic across the United States with more than 21,000 fatalities, according to Johns Hopkins University Resource Centre data.
