It started when they flew over Cape Cod Hospital in Hyannis and then Brockton Hospital about 5 minutes later. The jets then made their way to the Boston Hope field hospital at the convention center, Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston before moving on to Framingham, Worcester, Springfield, Holyoke and Northampton.

Many health care workers stepped outside to get a glimpse of the show.

The flyover ended in Westfield at about 12:45 p.m.
