Why bother . The National Felon League is fast dying on the vine. Three big advertisers bailed out and I saw a commercial advertising the half time show.

Or we could spend that money flying circles in the air.  The crews need x hours flying.  Better to get a little good publicity, for the money.  Besides, it never hurts " To show the flag".

Yes I think he did. Like last flight type stuff. Hopefully someone can come along with better knowledge.


As far as my avatar, I wish I were in the picture or taking it, but alas I wasn't. It was taken on the lake my parents live on. The .mil come by to bomb the damn for practice all the time.

Here's the vid where I got the screen cap:

Lol

The flyover is not meant to “support” the NFL.

The flyover is for recruiting purposes.

ETA:  it’s also for general marketing purposes and good PR for the military industrial complex.  
The flyover is definitely badass and kickass but it’s also basically a commercial promoting swampy deep state wars.

I’d like to see the flyover (because ‘Murica) but I’ll have miss it because F the NFL.

Well said.  

I'll add the folks doing the flyover think its a blast, or at least they did in '17 when I had a family member who took part in the Super Bowl flyover.

pretty much this

I watched only because I'm biased...I used to work on the BUFF that did the flyover (that particular jet was temperamental bitch) and am now assigned to the unit that Bone is in....that jet is part of the other Sq here at Ellsworth

I'm  on Anna Maria island, south of Tampa.  Heard one fly over around 608pm, went out to see it and it was gone.

Sounded like quite a bit of changes in engine speed.  How difficult is it for them to fly formation at such a slow speed?

I would imagine it's difficult for the B-52 to fly in general, not to mention formation flying with other aircraft.


On the other hand, this is a good training sortie for bomber pilots especially, being able to coordinate arriving at a designated target at the same time can be crucial to bombing operations in combat.

Did they make sure that the planes were crewed with only BIPOCs, women, and trannies, to keep up with the Social Justice Bowl theme this year?

That's a garbage excuse. If the best training plan they can come up with is "fly around in circles for flight hours" then they should lose their wings and their commanders should be fired. There is negligible training benefits for this and huge costs purely for ego.

Pro Tip:  check the label on your medication bottles.  Most say to take your grumpy gramps pills just before you go to bed, not first thing in the morning.

Oh, I completely agree.  The BUFF really appeared to be working the throttles hard.  I’m just curious if he was a bit loose, she was a bit right, or the B1 was a bit left.
