A historic KC-135 Stratotanker from the Hawaii Air National Guard completed a flyover above the skies of the U.S. Air Force Academy Oct. 2, 2019.
Tail number 60-0329 and her HIANG crew of five, over-flew the picturesque campus as part of a ceremony honoring those who served during one of America's most prolonged and costly conflicts.
During the ceremony, a plaque to remember the academy graduates who served as Stratotanker crews in the Vietnam War was dedicated.
The flyover occurred over the Southeast Asia Plaza of Heroes, a solemn place honoring the Air Force Academy’s Vietnam veterans. The plaza sits on a bluff overlooking the cadet areas and is surrounded by pine and oak trees; mountains to the west provide an awe-inspiring backdrop.
Amongst the memorials of individuals and various remembrances stands a long granite wall adorned with plaques of the aircraft that were flown during the Vietnam War. Each plaque includes a description and or story of the aircraft's virtuous service in the armed conflict.
