Look to the skies as four historic military aircraft—two North American T-6 Texans and two Beechcraft T-34 Mentors—fly over Crosslake in a patriotic formation honoring America's military heritage and the freedoms we celebrate on Independence Day.
The T-6 and T-34 were used to train generations of military pilots, preparing them to serve our nation in times of war and peace. Their flyover symbolizes the courage, dedication, and sacrifice of those who have defended our country throughout its history.
As we begin the celebration of America's 250th anniversary, this special aerial tribute serves as a powerful reminder of our nation's enduring spirit, honoring the past while inspiring future generations.
For those not in boats, we encourage you to veiw the parade from The Wharf, Moonlite Bay or the US Army Corps of Engineers Campground along the eastern shore of Cross Lake.
