(KATU-TV ABC-2) – The Oregon Air National Guard says its fighter pilots in F-15 Eagles will fly over hospitals across the state again Friday to salute frontline workers.
The flyovers are a joint effort between Oregon’s 173rd Fighter Wing, based in Klamath Falls, and the 142nd Wing, based in Portland.
