WWII bomber flies over Twin Cities cemeteries for Memorial Day
A WWI bomber flew over Twin Cities cemeteries to honor the fallen on Memorial Day.
The flyover was conducted by the Commemorative Air Force Minnesota Wing for Memorial Day. The plane, named Miss Mitchell, took off from Fleming Field in South St. Paul at 11 a.m. and passed over 15 cemeteries.
The flyover was one of the few in-person Memorial Day events taking place in Minnesota as the COVID-19 pandemic has led officials to prohibit large gatherings. Many ceremonies are happening virtually this year.
