Here’s another reason to keep your eyes on the sky tonight.
Luke Air Force Base will be conducting a Freedom 250 flyover across parts of central Arizona in honor of Independence Day and the country’s semiquincentennial, according to the base. Maricopa is one of 14 municipalities that will see the group of jets fly high tonight.
The flyover begins in the West Valley at 6:05 p.m., heads east to Mesa then south to Pinal County before flying to Yavapai and Gila Counties, then back to base.
The jets are expected to pass over Maricopa between 6:30 and 6:40 p.m.
