Team McConnell performed a series of community flyovers for Operation America Strong on Wednesday morning.
A flight of a pair of KC-135 Stratotankers and a KC-46 Pegasus from McConnell, closely followed by Wichita’s own B-29 Superfortress “Doc”, flew over local communities and hospitals to salute first responders, military members, and essential personnel working on the frontlines to combat the coronavirus.
The flight path brought the aircraft over Wichita, Derby, Newton, Andover, Garden Plain, Haysville, and El Dorado, including 11 local hospitals. The flyover lasted approximately one hour.
