If you look up in the sky early Saturday afternoon you’ll see (and hear) military planes screeching by.
They’re not taking part in formal exercises but instead are the Navy Blue Angels and Air Force Thunderbirds, taking part in a salute to COVID-19 first responders.
It’s the latest in a series of tributes called America Strong, and on Saturday similar flyovers will take place in the Baltimore and Washington, D.C. areas.
Earlier this week, an America Strong event took place over New York City and Philadelphia.
The tentative start time for the Atlanta flyover is 1:35 p.m. Saturday, as the planes begin in Cobb, around Wellstar Kennestone Hospital, and will circle back up over Sandy Springs, Roswell and a sliver of East Cobb before heading down to Atlanta and eventually to the Newnan area.
