Another flyover for COVID-19 workers, this one by NJ Air National Guard

New Jersey's frontline COVID-19 workers will get another aerial salute courtesy of the New Jersey Air National Guard on Tuesday.

Two weeks after the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds and the U.S. Navy Blue Angels flew in formation over the metro New York and Philadelphia areas as part of the America Strong flyover, a KC-135R Stratotanker from the Guard's 108th Wing and three F-16 Fighting Falcons from the 177th Fighter Wing will take to the air at 11:30 p.m. Tuesday.
