Everyone is encouraged to find a good spot to view, snap pictures, show kids (at a safe physical distance!) 10 minutes early.

“We are honored and excited the flyover will salute the hard working medical professionals and essential workers in San Angelo,” said Col. Andres Nazario, 17th Training Wing, commander. “These men and woman have been on the forefront of the coronavirus pandemic and we want to appreciate their tireless efforts and say thank you.”
