Air National Guard flyover times announced for rural, Northern Oregon

SALEM, Ore. – The Oregon Air National Guard announced the times for local flyovers to salute first responders during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The tribute is scheduled to be conducted by Oregon’s 173rd Fighter Wing, based in Klamath Falls and the 142nd Wing, based in Portland.

“This is a joint effort to demonstrate support and give thanks to healthcare workers, first responders, and other essential workers on the frontline of the COVID-19 response; the goal is to unite all Oregonians during this time,” said Stephen Bomar, Director of Public Affairs for the Oregon Military Department. “This effort also demonstrates the full capabilities of our Oregon National Guard Citizen Soldiers and Airmen. Whether on the ground delivering needed Personal Protective Equipment throughout Oregon or in the skies protecting the Pacific Northwest, the Guard is in this together with Oregonians.”

The Guard said, “All flyover plans have been coordinated as a part of OPERATION: AMERICAN RESOLVE to salute those at the forefront of the COVID-19 response and will be done in conjunction with regularly scheduled training. Pilots must perform a minimum number of flight hours to maintain proficiency. These flyovers will incur no additional cost to taxpayers and are done in leu [sic] of regularly scheduled training.”

More flyovers are scheduled to continue on May 15 with locations and times still to be announced. The flyover plan also includes the United States Air Force Thunderbirds demonstration team, which is scheduled to fly over the Pacific Northwest in late May.
