Here’s when and where to see Wednesday’s F-16 flyover in Colorado

Starting at Aurora’s Buckley Air Force Base at approximately 4:33 PM, a number of F-16s operated by the Colorado National Guard will blast through the Colorado sky. They’ll be on a planned route, flying over a number of cities like Denver, Colorado Springs, and Fort Collins, as well as a few mountain towns, including Aspen, Vail, and Breckenridge.

The flight is part of an effort to boost morale and provide an uplifting spectacle during the pandemic. The route around the state will conclude, back in Aurora, at about 6 PM. See the full route below:
