On Saturday, July 4th, the Norcal Beechboys and the Memorial Squadron will be performing a combined flyover of 20 aircraft around 10:20 am at Buchanan Field from the south. We anticipate flying over the numbers of runway 1 Left at 2000’. Included in the group will be 12 Bonanzas, A Beechcraft Mentor, a T6, A Marchetti SF-20, A Pitts, two Van’s RV6a, Van’s RV7 and a Van’s RV8.

From there the flight will reconfigure with the 12 Norcal Beechboys Bonanzas heading west to the Golden Gate, Fremont and back to Livermore, while the Memorial Squadron continues northwest on a 300 heading to the Veterans Home in Yountville (Napa). While enroute to Yountville, the Memorial Squadron will be joined by the Dragons out of Gnoss Field. Saturday the dragons are composed of a Nanchang CJ6, Marchetti SF-20 and a Van’s RV 8. This will bring the group back up to 11 aircraft.

At approximately 10:30, the combined Memorial/Dragon group will make three passes over Yountville including a Parade Pass, a Special Memorial Smoke Pass and individual element passes. While there is not an airshow, for the purposes of viewing from the ground, “Show Center” is immediately between Highway 29 and the Vet’s home. From there the combined group will return to base with the Memorial Squadron returning to KLVK to debrief.

This will be a great opportunity to get out and practice social distancing while watching airplanes and pilots working together to pay tribute to the Forefathers of our great country!
