The Oregon Air National Guard is wrapping up a series of flyovers Monday, over hospitals and other locations, and that includes a flyover for the Roseburg area.
A release from the Oregon Military Department said the flyovers are a joint effort between Oregon’s 173rd Fighter Wing, based in Klamath Falls, and the 142nd Wing, based in Portland. The release said they are aimed at supporting and thanking healthcare workers, first responders, and other essential workers who are working to keep Oregonians safe and healthy every day. The tribute also hopes to unify and boost the spirits of Oregonians and to recognize the military members who have lost their lives in service to the country.
F-15 Eagles will flyover Mercy Medical Center and the VA Roseburg Healthcare System at approximately 11:10 a.m. Monday. They will fly over Lower Umpqua Hospital in Reedsport at approximately 11:44 a.m.
