On Wednesday May 6, Longmont residents gathered in the Walmart parking lot and all along County Line Road to watch and support a “flyover” above the UCHealth Longmont clinic.
The flyover was put together to show support for and to thank our health care workers and first responders during the COVID-19 Pandemic. This was one of many locations in Colorado that were on the path of this flyover, with other locations including Colorado Springs, Denver, and Fort Collins.
Flyovers like this have been taking place all over the nation in an attempt to not only thank healthcare workers, but bring communities together—at a totally safe distance, of course—and give many who are running out of tv shows to watch something to look forward to.
