JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Navy’s elite flying unit will perform over the Jacksonville area on Friday as part of its nationwide flights to salute health care workers, first responders and other essential workers on the front lines of America’s battle against the coronavirus.

The flyover — which will cover parts of Duval, St. Johns and Clay counties — will begin at 11:40 a.m. and last for about 20 minutes, the Navy said. The F/A-18 Hornets will fly over Naval Station Mayport and skirt the beaches all the way down to Palm Valley. They’ll pivot and fly north over hospitals from the beach to Orange Park. Then they’ll fly north through the Westside and Oceanway, back through Arlington and Mandarin and finally Fleming Island.

The Pensacola-based squadron will then fly over Miami in a 25-minute period, starting at 1 p.m. Friday.
