SALT LAKE CITY — It is a Utah Independence Day tradition, the sight of F-35A Lightning II's through the skies over the Beehive State, and leaders at Hill Air Force Base have announced when Utahns can expect to see the spectacle.
This year will mark the 37th time that the 419th Fighter Wing has led Team Hill in the tradition. Officials say the event helps serve as a visible reminder of the enduring bond between Hill Air Force Base and local communities, as well as a tribute to the values of freedom, unity, and service.
The flyovers will take place between 8:45 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. on July 4, and as always, the flight paths and timing are subject to change due to weather or operational requirements.
