USAF Thunderbirds Thank Colorado’s Frontline Heroes: 10 Stunning Photos

On Saturday, April 18, residents all over Colorado's Front Rage left their homes (but only momentarily) to look up at the sky and see a fleet of United States Air Force Thunderbirds fly overhead. The military planes were en route to the graduation ceremony at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, but the flyover was a 'thank you' to all of our essential and healthcare workers on the front line of COVID-19, as the pilots passed by a number of local hospitals.

Yeah, our photos didn't turn out great either, but these ones did. The pictures and videos these Coloradans captured on Instagram will give you goosebumps.
