April 30th 2020 F-35A Lightning II Demonstration Team & 388th Fighter Wing 'Utah Strong Flyover'

Описание: HILL AIR FORCE BASE, Utah — The Air Force F-35A Lightning II Demonstration and 388th Fighter Wing performed a formation flyover throughout the state of Utah, Thursday, 30 April, beginning at 1 p.m.

The "Utah Strong Flyover was a salute to everyone on the frontlines in the fight against COVID-19, as well as those staying at home to “flatten the curve” of the virus.

The formation was led by the F-35A Demo Team pilot, Capt. Kristin “BEO” Wolfe, with three combat-ready F-35 pilots from the 388th Fighter Wing.

“This flyover is our way of saluting those that are keeping our home-front safe during these unique times,” said Capt. Wolfe. “To provide just a small showcase of our appreciation to everyone that is doing their part to combat the virus, and to say ‘thank you for your sacrifice and service’, to let everyone who has been affected by this pandemic know that we stand by you.”

The flyover tookoff from Hill Air Force Base, proceeded south through Salt Lake City down to the southern border of the state near St. George, looped up to Park City and Logan, before proceeding south through Ogden back to the base.
