Apache Helicopters Honor 9/11 Over Football Games | Salt Lake City News

Ten Apache helicopters roar over 29 high school football games this Friday night in Utah as part of “Operation Friday Night Flights” — a statewide tribute to honor the victims of 9/11 and celebrate unity, resilience, and national strength. Pilots from the 211th Aviation Regiment, calling themselves the “Air Pirates,” execute a tightly timed, precision flyover between 6:41 and 6:59 PM across cities from Ogden to Spanish Fork, with 20 aircrew members flying five synchronized routes. It’s not just a show of force — it’s a moving reminder of collective courage two decades later. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
