WESTFIELD – F-15 Eagles from the 104th Fighter Wing, Barnes Air National Guard Base, will fly over three separate cities and towns in support of community events for the 4th of July celebrations being held in the commonwealth tomorrow.
The F-15 Eagles will fly in formation over Salem and Rutland as well as over the Boston Pops 4th of July concert – serving as a symbol of patriotism and as a reminder of the sacrifice our military members make each and every day to protect the values, ideas and freedoms our nation celebrates on the 4th.
“We’re proud of our heritage and always look forward to supporting flyovers for events such as these,” said Col. James Keefe, 104th Fighter Wing Commander.
The flyovers performed by the 104th Fighter Wing’s F-15 Eagles during special events display the Air National Guard’s presence serve as a training opportunity for the pilots and ground crews and for recruiting future members.
