Oregon Air National Guard does flyovers for frontline workers

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — The Oregon Air National Guard conducted F-15 Eagle flyovers over hospitals and other locations on Friday.

This tribute is meant to salute Oregonians who are on the frontlines during the COVID-19 pandemic as well as to lift morale as we manage these unprecedented times. According to the Oregon Military Department, the flyovers will be conducted by Oregon’s 173rd Fighter Wing, based in Klamath Falls and the 142nd Wing, which is based in Portland.

The flyovers began at 8:50 a.m. and continued through 11:20 a.m.

“We are honored to pay tribute to everyone who has served on the frontlines during this pandemic,” said Brigade General Donna Prigmore, Commander of the Oregon Air National Guard. “This is a small way of showing our gratitude for the big sacrifices that our healthcare workers, emergency responders, and so many others have made. We thank all of you.”

These flyovers come at no extra cost to the taxpayer and are done in lieu of regularly scheduled training, say officials. More Air National Guard flyovers are expected to continue next Friday, as well.
