MADISON, Wis. — The Wisconsin National Guard is planning a flyover this weekend as part of a memorial service for an F-16 pilot who died in a plane crash in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan late last year.
This weekend’s flyover salute will happen over Truax Field at 11:30 a.m. Saturday during a memorial service, with F-16s from the 115th Fighter Wing’s 176th Fighter Squadron and F-15s from the Oregon Air National Guard’s 123rd Fighter Squadron. The Wisconsin National Guard says the 123rd Fighter Squadron is taking part in solidarity, as Jones’ brother is an F-15 pilot in the unit.
