The Blue Angels have released new details on their Chicago flyover, set to take place Tuesday as part of a nationwide tribute to honor healthcare workers and first responders during the coronavirus crisis.

The squadron released a flight path for the event, with the Chicago track set to take place between 11:45 a.m. and noon, though times are subject to change.

The event will begin and end on the city's South Side, with the Blue Angels traveling north and west as they loop around the city.

"Residents should observe the flyover from the safety of their home-quarantine and should refrain from traveling to see the flyover," a message within the announcement reads. "Social distancing should be practiced at all times."

The Chicago flyover is part of a three-city tour set for Tuesday, with other visits being made to Detroit and Indianapolis.

“Detroit, Chicago and Indianapolis your Blue Angels are heading your way this Tuesday!” they tweeted.

The Navy pilots have been part of a series of an ongoing salute in the skies across the country and have already toured several major U.S. cities including New York, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Jacksonville and Miami.
