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.
