Four F-15C Eagle tactical fighter jets with the California Air National Guard's 144th Fighter Wing from Fresno, California, fly in formation over the California State Capitol May 13 to salute and support Californians on the front lines of the coronavirus pandemic battle. The jets flew 1,000 feet above the historic building, traveling at 300 knots, as a small crowd of media, politicians and local observers witness the event. The California National Guard salutes health care workers and first responders who have been engaged in the COVID-19 war since March. “We’re showing our support, showing we’re standing beside you,” said Lt. Col. Rob Fenrick, deputy officer at Cal Guard’s 129th Rescue Wing. “We’re honoring you.” The flyover stared in Fresno and passed over medical facilities in San Joaquin Valley, Sacramento area, San Francisco Bay Area and parts of mid-Southern California. More flyovers will be held throughout May, according to Fenrick. (Army National Guard video by Staff Sgt. Eddie Siguenza)
