WMTW reported on the scheduled flyovers throughout Maine on Tuesday. It's all part of Operation on American Resolve, to honor those working as essential workers and in the healthcare field fighting this virus.

Major General Douglas Farnham, Maine's adjutant, said:

The entire Maine National Guard is honored to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the healthcare workers and first responders who are working on the front lines to combat COVID-19. We are also deeply grateful for those essential personnel diligently working to keep our shelves stocked and families supplied.
