Health care professionals at Aspen Valley Hospital and front-line workers in Aspen and Pitkin County will be recognized Wednesday afternoon as part of the aerial salute known as Operation American Resolve.<\/p>\n

The scheduled window for the flyover<\/a> over the Colorado mountains is between 4:42 and 5:10 p.m., and the Aspen area is the western outpost where the pilots will fly over then return to the Front Range. Officials said the windows may vary by about 15 minutes.<\/p>\n

According to the Colorado Air National Guard, the 140th Wing, Colorado Air National Guard will fly F-16 Fighting Falcon aircraft around several Colorado cities and towns Wednesday to salute workers fighting the COVID-19 pandemic. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe are really excited to show our appreciation for those men and women who are risking their lives every day in the front lines of the war on COVID-19,\u201d said U.S. Air Force Col. Micah Fesler, commander, 140th Wing, Colorado Air National Guard. \u201cSo many of our community members, Coloradans, and fellow Americans have experienced overwhelming hardship as a result of this invisible enemy and we hope that the sound of freedom will inspire a sense of community and optimism.\u201d<\/p>\n
