The Navy Blue Angels and the Air Force Thunderbirds flew over parts of New York and New Jersey on Tuesday in a show of support to honor healthcare heroes and essential workers on the front lines of the coronavirus pandemic.

The flyover, part of a nationwide tour to lift Americans’ spirits during the turmoil, began at noon in the Bronx and ended at about 12:40 pm near Brooklyn’s Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge.

It included six F-16 Fighting Falcons that make up the Thunderbirds and six F-18 Hornets that make up the Blue Angels.
