Video: UAE Air Force team performs final displays thanking Covid-19 heroes

Abu Dhabi - Al Fursan's displays were seen over select hospitals in Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah to pay tribute to UAE frontliners battling to control coronavirus.

Air displays over the UAE's hospitals by the UAE Air Force's aerobatic team, Al Fursan, concluded on Tuesday in spectacular fashion with an aerobatic show over select hospitals in Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah.
The three-day display, organised by the General Headquarters (GHQ) of the UAE Armed Forces, was a message of gratitude from His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces.

Sheikh Mohamed has, many a time, appreciated the fundamental role played by the nation's doctors, nurses, paramedics, and administrative and technical staff, who are working round the clock under tough circumstances to ensure public safety and health in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Ministry of Health and Prevention lauded the GHQ's initiative, saying it carried an inspirational message of thanks and gratitude to the frontline medical, nursing and administrative staff.
