As it turns out, the sky wasn’t the limit as Alabama showed love and support for health care workers fighting against COVID-19.
The Alabama National Guard conducted flyovers throughout the state today in tribute to first responders and health care workers. Many stepped outside in their masks and scrubs to wave and take in the honor from the 117th Air Refueling Wing of Birmingham and the 187th Fighter Wing from Dannelly Field in Montgomery.
If you missed the @AlabamaNG 117th Air Refueling Wing flyover in Shelby County, here’s a quick video we put together. Thank you to all of the health care workers on the frontlines!#PelhamPD #WeSaluteAlabama #InThisTogether pic.twitter.com/fYdIySvzCC

An empty @AuburnU campus allowed our aerospace students to get in some extra research over Shelby Center today… though it’s possible it was just that flyover everyone is talking about. pic.twitter.com/LezMH63bbL
