Team McConnell is scheduled to perform a series of community flyovers for Operation America Strong on May 6, beginning at 10 a.m.
A flight of two KC-135 Stratotankers and a KC-46 Pegasus from McConnell followed closely by Wichita’s own B-29 Superfortress “Doc” will fly over local communities and hospitals to salute first responders, military members, and essential personnel who are working on the frontlines to combat the coronavirus.
The flight path will bring the aircraft over Wichita, Derby, Newton, Andover, Garden Plain, Haysville, and El Dorado, including 11 local hospitals. The flyover will last approximately one hour.
