KANE’OHE - The Hawai’i Army National Guard will conduct a funeral flyover in Kane’oheon Monday, July 22, 2024, over the Hawai’i State Veterans Cemetery. The two helicopters, a CH-47 Chinook and a UH-72 Lakota, will hover near coconut island at 1000 feet at about 10:00 a.m. in preparation of the flyover for a Hawai’iArmy Guardsman who recently passed.

At approximately 10:13 a.m., the helicopters will start their approach toward the Kane’ohe Bay Shopping Center, then turn slightly southeast parallel to Kamehameha Highway. They will then lower their altitude to 500 feet as they approach the HSVC at 10:15 a.m. Once they clear the cemetery property, they will then eventually climb to 1,500 feet again, fly due east over the Kawainui Marsh Wildlife Sanctuary and out to the ocean over Kailua.

Residents in Kane’ohe and Kailua may see and hear the helicopters flying overhead. All coordination and permissions have been completed with the FAA with Marine Corps Base Hawai'i.
