Requests for a military flyover at your special event can be made through the JBER Public Affairs Office or the U.S. Air Force Aerial Events Support home page. Military aircraft flyover requests are subject to a number of restrictions and supported only when they do not impact operational missions. Please submit a completed DD Form 2535 a minimum of 90 days before the event to be considered for support. Less than 90 days notice reduces the chance that support will be available. Requests received 30 days or closer to the event will NOT be considered. You may download and print out a DD Form 2535 and follow the instructions for correctly filling out the form and submitting it. The DD Form 2535 can be submitted to Air Force Public Affairs (SAF/PAN) either by fax (703) 693-9601, e-mail, or mail: USAF Aerial Events SAF/PAN 1690 Air Force Pentagon Washington, DC 20330-1690 If you plan to request a military aircraft flyover, please call the JBER Public Affairs Office at 907-552-4659 beforehand to discuss your project. Although we cannot guarantee approval of your request, we can help make the application/request process a smoother experience for you.
