When, where to see F-16 flyovers across Colorado on Independence Day

Wanna see F-16s flying overhead on July 4th?

The Colorado Air National Guard is performing fighter jet flyovers over a large part of the state Thursday to celebrate Independence Day.

The 140th Wing of the Colorado Air National Guard will conduct flyovers above Lake City, Silverton, Rico, Telluride, Redstone, Granby, Greeley and Firestone.

“Our nation’s independence is again celebrated by the triumphant ‘sound of freedom’ from the mighty F-16 Viper,” 140th Wing Commander U.S. Air Force Col. Jeremiah “Weed” Tucker said. “These flyovers are symbolic of the ever-vigilant defense provided by the Colorado Air National Guard. We’re reminded of this as our aircraft thunder through the skies of Colorado as watchful guardians and defenders of state and nation.”
