F-15 Fighter Jets to Fly Over Roseburg on Veterans Day

ROSEBURG, Ore. - Residents in Roseburg may hear the roar of fighter jets overhead Wednesday, November 11, as the Oregon Air National Guard conducts flyovers across the state in honor of Veterans Day.

The Oregon Military Department announced Tuesday that the 142nd Wing, based at the Portland Air National Guard Base, will conduct F-15 fighter jet flyovers at Veterans Day ceremonies in eight Oregon communities, including Roseburg.

The flyovers are scheduled to take place between 10:50 a.m. and 12:50 p.m. on Wednesday. The military has not provided a specific time for the Roseburg flyover.

According to the Oregon Military Department, the aircraft will fly approximately 1,000 feet above ground level at speeds of around 350 miles per hour.

Chief Master Sgt. Charles Trinchitella, command chief of the 142nd Wing, said the flights are intended to recognize veterans and their families.

“The 142nd Wing proudly honors Veterans Day with F-15 flybys across Oregon, recognizing the service and sacrifice of our nation’s veterans and their families,” Trinchitella said. “These flights reflect our gratitude for those who served before us and our ongoing commitment to defending the Pacific Northwest and upholding the freedoms they fought to secure.”

Eight Oregon Locations Scheduled for Flyovers

In addition to Roseburg, the 142nd Wing is scheduled to conduct Veterans Day flyovers in seven other Oregon locations:

• Hillsboro
• Salem
• Albany
• Bend
• Pendleton
• The Dalles
• Hollywood Neighborhood, Portland

The flights are part of the Oregon Air National Guard's annual recognition of Veterans Day, honoring those who have served in the United States Armed Forces.

Based in Portland, the wing is part of the nation's air defense system and supports missions under Air Combat Command and the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD).

The Portland Air National Guard Base employs approximately 1,400 Airmen and contributes nearly $130 million to the regional economy, according to the Oregon Military Department.
