CENTENNIAL, Colo. — The Colorado Air National Guard held flyovers Saturday in observance of Veterans Day.
Members of the 140th Wing flew F-16s over the state as the Colorado Air National Guard celebrates its 100th year.
Flyovers are requested through the U.S. Air Force Arial Events Office in Washington, D.C., and do not cost taxpayers any additional money because they are part of training for pilots.
The F-16s flew over the following places between 11 a.m. and 12:15 p.m.:
- Loveland
- Wellington
- Greeley
- Castle Rock
- Grand Junction
- Durango
“These flyovers are to recognize and show our gratitude to the men and women who faithfully served our nation,” 140th Wing Commander U.S. Air Force Col. Jeremiah Tucker said. “Many of the veterans we salute served and continue to serve our state and communities in the Colorado National Guard as the first military responders during emergencies.”
