The Ohio Air National Guard’s 180th Fighter Wing is scheduled to conduct a series of flybys across the state of Ohio as a salute to the heroes at the forefront in the fight against COVID-19, and to lift the spirits and morale of our fellow Ohioans.
The 180th Fighter Wing is honored to extend our salute to Ohio healthcare workers, first responders, military members and other essential personnel, as a small thank you for helping to keep Ohioans safe.
The 180FW will kick off the salute, beginning Wednesday, May 6, in the Northwest Ohio area.
The flyby is scheduled for the Bowling Green area on Thursday, between 1:45 and 2:05 p.m.
All flights will be conducted in conjunction with regularly scheduled training missions and are subject to change based on mission needs and/or inclement weather.
For the welfare and safety of all Ohioans, residents are encouraged to observe the flybys from home and avoid congregating in large groups in an effort to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.
