The Warhawk Air Museum in Nampa is preparing for its annual Memorial Day Flyover recognizing the service and sacrifice of Treasure Valley Veterans and honoring the healthcare heroes who've worked tirelessly throughout the COVID-19 Pandemic. As part of the tribute, three WWII-era fighter planes will fly over eleven different cemeteries and hospitals from Nampa to Boise.  The flyover starts just before 11 a.m. and will pass by the side (south or west) of each of the hospitals. Here's a look at the route:
