Flyover Planned Thursday

The NC National Guard is planning a flyover today as part of its regularly scheduled training, but today’s flyover is also part of American Resolve to show support to first responders and medical personnel who are on the front lines of fighting the corona virus.  Part of the flyover will include Morganton and Burke County.  Around 11am Thursday a C 17 plane will flyover J. Iverson Riddle Development Center and Broughton Hospital.  The National Guard says the air force salute is to demonstrate the Department of the Air Force’s continued readiness during the national COVID-19 response, while saluting the American Heroes at the forefront in our fight against COVID-19.
