Celebrate Independence Day with a sky-high salute! The 158th Fighter Wing of the Vermont Air National Guard will mark this 4th of July with a spectacular F-35 flyover.
The flyovers have been planned to coincide with some towns’ Independence Day celebrations. Both the Colchester and the Jeffersonville flyovers, for example, will occur during the towns’ holiday parade. Although Essex Junction festivities don’t begin until the evening, the flyover is scheduled to follow a flight path over Maple Street, the Five Corners, and Pearl Street, home of the Champlain Valley Fairgrounds.
The VTANG Facebook page urges readers to “share this post and spread the word! Let’s make this Fourth of July unforgettable. Happy 4th, everyone!”
The flyover will become an annual event. VTANG officials urged interested people to “please reach out next year if you would like to see a flyover in your home town.”
