The 175th Wing, Maryland Air National Guard conducted community flyovers to honor frontline COVID-19 responders and essential workers across the state, May 8, 2020.

The round-the-state flyovers were part of the U.S. Air Force's OPERATION: AMERICAN RESOLVE and were being conducted in conjunction with regularly scheduled training. The aircraft flew over local hospitals, nursing homes, food distribution locations, COVID-19 testing sites and other locations throughout the state.

"This is our way of saying 'thank you' to the frontline heroes taking care of us and to all of those in essential industries keeping our state moving forward," said Lt. Col. Paul Kanning, 175th Operations Group commander, Maryland Air National Guard. "We want to honor how much they mean to the great state of Maryland."

More than 1,300 members of the Maryland National Guard continue to support Maryland citizens during the COVID-19 pandemic by providing capabilities such as transportation, commodity distribution, medical augmentation and more. More
