The Minnesota National Guard has announced that they will conduct statewide flyovers on Wednesday to honor COVID-19 front-line workers.

In St. Cloud, two F-16 fighter jets will pass through from 11:10 – 11:25 a.m.  One will fly over the VA Hospital heading south and the other will fly over St. Cloud Hospital, heading west to east. 

Majority General Jon Jenson says this is a small way we can salute those at the forefront of the COVID-19 response.  These flyovers are a way of showing solidarity for those who have stepped forward to serve.

These flyovers are a part of previously scheduled training missions, so there is potential for the times to flex based on the training missions, weather and airspace availability.
