'America Strong' flyover crossed north Georgia on Thursday

The flyover is a way to salute health care workers, first responders and essential workers for their efforts during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

MARIETTA, Ga. — Those who missed the U.S. Navy's Blue Angels and the Air Force Thunderbird's a couple of weeks ago got another opportunity to see a military flyover on Thursday.

The Dobbins Air Force Reserve's 94th Airlift Wing's C-130H3 Hercules aircrafts took off at around 6 p.m. and traveled to north Georgia hospitals to salute healthcare workers, first responders and essential workers for their efforts during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

The C-130 flyover began at Dobbins ARB in Marietta, before going to Kennesaw, Canton, Jasper, Dalton, Rome, Cartersville and Hiram.
