As a journalist, I do my best to provide accurate information as best I can.  Sometimes, I write something that needs to be corrected later.  This is one of those times.

When writing my story on the Fishers Memorial Day observance this year, I included a photo I had taken of a plan flying over the proceedings.  Master of ceremonies El Ahlwardt had said early in the event to expect a flyover and watch for it approaching behind him.

As the ceremony continued, there was a plane that was flying over the municipal complex just as Mr. Ahlwardt said it would.

However, based on comments made at the Fishers Armed Services Committee Meeting a few days ago, the planned flyover was cancelled as the Memorial Day event was beginning.

The plane that did appear above the Fishers City Hall “was not a flyover,” Ahlwardt said.  The planned flyover aircraft was apparently not ready for flight, so Ahlwardt made clear that no pilot should take off in a plane not ready to fly.

This was the second year in a row the planned flyover did not materialize, so the city is looking at other options for the 2023 Memorial Day flyover.

No one knows what the plane was doing that did fly over the ceremony on Memorial Day, we just know it was not the planned flyover.

Again, sometimes things are not what they seem at the time.  Just setting the record straight.
