BANGOR, Maine (WMTW) The Maine National Guard will complete its part of Maine's Operation American Resolve flyover on Thursday.
The event, which began with a flyover route on May 12, is being conducted as a salute to all of Maine's front-line health care workers and essential personnel across the state. The flyovers in northern and Downeast Maine had to be canceled due to weather on Tuesday.
"We are looking forward to continuing our tribute and are pleased that we were able to make some additions to the flight path," said Col. Frank Roy, commander of the 101st Air Refueling Wing. "With its aerial refueling mission, the KC-135 Stratotanker adds worldwide range to American air power. With that in mind, we hope this small token of appreciation helps inspire front-line workers and all Mainers that we are in this for the long haul, and we are all in it together."
