PORTLAND, Ore. (KATU) — The 142nd Wing of the Portland Air
National Guard Base is set to conduct Memorial Day flyovers
across northwest Oregon and southwest Washington.

The flyovers, featuring F-15 Eagle fighter jets, will take place at
various community locations on Monday, May 26.

Maj. Graham Johnson, one of the two pilots participating in the
flyovers, expressed his pride in the mission. "It’s an incredible
honor to fly for the Air National Guard on Memorial Day, paying
tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom."

The flyovers are scheduled to begin at 9:14 a.m. at Forest Lawn
Cemetery in Gresham and will continue at several other sites,
including Veterans Memorial in Springfield, Willamette National
Cemetery in Portland, and Fort Vancouver in Vancouver,
Washington.

GLENDALE, Ariz. (TND) — This year’s Super Bowl will be history-
making between the national anthem and kickoff. For the first
time ever, the pregame flyover will be piloted by an all-female
crew.

The team will be commemorating 50 years of women flying in the
U.S. Navy.

It was back in 1973 — in Pensacola, Fla. — that the first eight
women began flight school. A year later, six of them, nicknamed
“The First Six,” earned their Wings of Gold.

Sunday’s flyover in Arizona will be comprised of two F/A-18F
Super Hornets from the “Flying Eagles” of Strike Fighter
Squadron (VFA) 122, an F-35C Lightning II from the “Argonauts”
of VFA-147, and an EA-18G Growler from the “Vikings” of
Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ) 129.
