An Illinois Army National Guard CH-47 Chinook helicopter, piloted by Warrant Officer 2 AJ Hager and Warrant Officer 2 Anthony McCormick, lands at the Army Aviation Support Facility in Kankakee, Ill., Dec. 14 in preparation for the Chicago Bears flyover later that day. A diamond formation of Illinois Army National Guard helicopters performed a flyover over Soldier Field in Chicago on Dec. 14 just before the Chicago Bears' 31-3 victory over the Cleveland Browns. The formation included a UH-47 Chinook, two UH-60 Blackhawks, and a UH-72 Lakota from Peoria, Kankakee and Decatur. These aerial demonstrations of patriotism and power also have military training value. These "time on target" missions include careful planning, close coordination, great precision, as well as effective communication between aircraft and with the ground. They help our Soldiers prepare for their military missions.
