A suspension of eight South Carolina National Guard helicopter pilots has been lifted. The pilots were suspended after a low-flying sweep over beachgoers during a July 4 event.

The event, which honors servicemembers, features military aircraft flying along South Carolina's shoreline. This year's event included F-16s from the South Carolina Air National Guard.

Further details about the suspension and the event are available from the Pentagon and other sources. The suspension was lifted effective immediately, according to a Pentagon spokesman.
