Today’s Star Spangled Salute honors the men and women of Team McConnell who are preparing for a special fly over on Wednesday morning to celebrate first responders, essential workers, and the community during the ongoing pandemic.   Wednesday morning, two KC-135 Stratotankers and a KC-46 Pegasus from McConnell, as will as the restored B-29 Superfortress “Doc” will fly over south-central Kansas.  The flight path will bring the planes over Wichita, Derby, Newton, Andover, Garden Plain, Haysville and El Dorado, including 11 local hospitals.  It will begin around 10 a.m. and last about 1 hour and you are encouraged to take pictures of the flyover and tag McConnell @22ARW on Facebook and Instagram. Colonel Richard Tanner, 22nd Air Refueling Wing commander says, “Team McConnell takes great pride in being part of this community. We are thrilled to have the opportunity to show our appreciation and solidarity to the thousands of heroes who are working tirelessly to battle COVID-19.”  Thank you to all involved in this special fly over and thank you for your service.
