Fifth Gen fighters to fly over coastline May 15

  • Published

The 325th Fighter Wing and the 33rd Fighter Wing’s fighter aircraft will show appreciation and support for Northwest Florida medical professionals and first responders with a regional flyover, May 15.

Residents can observe the tribute flight of an F-22 Raptor, an F-35 Lightning II and two T-38 Talons, from their own neighborhoods. Residents and observers should practice social distancing guidelines, not gather in groups and wear masks around persons other than those living in their household. Citizens should refrain from traveling to the physical locations of the flyovers, as this may hinder emergency vehicles from safely traveling to hospitals in those areas.

The flyover is a Tyndall, Eglin salute to the medical professionals, essential business employees, emergency responders and all American heroes on the frontlines of the fight against COVID-19. It will also serve as a symbol of unity for Northwest Florida in the face of the pandemic.
