Four F-35A fighter jets fly over the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo., Friday, April 17, 2020, to honor the Class of 2020 who will graduate early in a closed ceremony Saturday on the terrazzo at the center of campus rather than Falcon Stadium. The early graduation on the terrazzo will allow them to stay 8 feet apart during the COVID-19 pandemic. Vice President Mike Pence will speak in person, but the cadets won't march up to receive diplomas and high fives and hugs are banned. The Thunderbirds will fly over at the conclusion of the ceremony that will be streamed online for families and friends.
