Hashtag Look to the skies over Main Street at 10:20 a.m. on the Fourth of July and you will see the United States Air Force at their best. Thanks to Selfridge Air National Guard Base pilots and staff, the United States Air Force and the Eastern Division of the FAA for making this happen for the Clarkston Fourth of July Celebration. The Air Force has been flying for 100 years in war time - starting with WW I 1918-1919. The Fourth of July Parade Committee wants to thank the pilots, who are flying on their holiday also.
