Oregon Air National Guard F-15 Eagle Jet Fighter Flyovers

by Christi Lundquist

The Oregon Air National Guard, which has been an integral part of the nation’s air defense since 1941, will salute America’s fallen heroes and veterans with flyovers for various ceremonies at locations throughout Oregon eagle_and_american_flag.jpgand Southwest Washington. It should be a spectacular sight if the weather holds up as the planes fly 1,000 feet above ground level and 350 knots airspeed. If the weather is bad, or if the planes have operational problems, times could be changed, or flights could be cancelled, so hopefully all will go well.

Two F-15 Eagle jet fighters from the 142nd Fighter Wing, which maintains continuous alert with F-15’s from Portland as part of the Western Air Defense System, will depart the Portland Air Base. One jet will fly over community events in Portland and the other will cover outlying areas and Southwest WA at the following times and locations:

About Portland, OR

There are a lot of misconceptions about Portland, Oregon. We are not all communists, we are not all hippies, and many of the females do in fact shave. Portland is a vibrant, progressive community that balances the native with the newcomer, the eco-minded with the lumber industry, and the natural with the urban. About Portland, OR is a home for all the contradictions.
