Active-duty airmen from the 15th Wing and the Hawaii Air National Guard at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam will conduct a flyover across the Hawaiian Islands using C-17 Globemaster III, KC-135 Stratotanker, and F-22 Raptors. This tribute honors health care workers, first responders, and essential employees who worked tirelessly during the COVID outbreak, ensuring public safety and keeping society functioning.

Brig. Gen. Dann S. Carlson, 154th Wing Commander, stated, “This event will recognize the hard work that everyone in Hawaii has already accomplished to keep Hawaii’s COVID cases among the lowest in the United States, while also acknowledging the need for continued vigilance, and our obligation to those in our community who require continued assistance,”.
