Fly-over destinations include Fort McPherson National Cemetery near Maxwell, east of North Platte and farther west to Paxton, just east of the Panhandle. The planes are four-engine jet aircraft used for aerial refueling. They are operated by the Guard's 155th Aerial Refueling Wing, which is based at the Lincoln airport.
