The Air Force’s Thunderbirds, based at Nellis Air Force Base, performed a flyover above every hospital in the Las Vegas Valley on Saturday afternoon.

During the performance, the jets flew next to the Strip. Check out this view from the cockpit.

The honor began at 2:30 p.m. and was intended to recognize first responders, health care professionals and other workers battling the coronavirus pandemic, Nellis Air Force Base officials said.

We salute the healthcare workers and first responders who are at the forefront of our nation’s fight against COVID-19. They are an inspiration for the entire country during these challenging times and it was an honor to fly for them today. #VegasGoesBlue pic.twitter.com/eoXeSLIKAF
