Military aircraft to fly over Lawrence campus Friday, Saturday
LAWRENCE – Two military aircraft will fly over the Lawrence campus Friday and Saturday this week.
Two A-10 Warthogs from the 303rd Fighter Squadron out of Whiteman Air Force Base will fly over campus Saturday, Nov. 6, as part of the Salute to Service celebration at the University of Kansas football game. The planes are expected to pass over David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium at the conclusion of the national anthem, approximately 10 minutes before the 11 a.m. kickoff against Kansas State University.
To prepare for Saturday’s pre-game flyover, the aircraft will do a practice run over the stadium Friday, Nov. 5, at approximately 2:30 p.m.
The aircraft will be piloted by KU alumni.
