The program’s purpose is to demonstrate the Department of the Air Force’s continued readiness during the national COVID-19 response, while saluting the American heroes at the forefront in our fight against COVID-19. The flyovers are a way for the U.S. Air Force to show appreciation to healthcare workers, first responders, military, and other essential workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Robins AFB will post on the base Facebook page and website (www.robins.af.mil) with hashtags #AirForceSalutes, #AFFlyover and #AmericaStrong. We welcome viewers to tag the flyover on social media with these hashtags. Local media will receive a press advisory also.
