NFL Video of Military Flyovers
 
Okay, I wrestled with where to put this thread. Doug, or one of the other moderators, may wish to move this, but I thought it was too good to post in the Test Section where it would stay only a short while. Since we don't have a Patriotic Forum, I thought it fit best in the Formation Forum.

Both of my sons serve in the Air National Guard, and one of them sent this link to me. I hope you enjoy it.

Thats awesome.

The night of the MLB all star game, I got to refuel the B-2 before they did the fly over. Thats was pretty cool.

My nephew (Navy F-18 pilot) did a flyover at Fenway Park this year. It's the only time I see the kid anymore.

NFL Flyovers
 
My wife and I were at the first Jaguar game in Jacksonville, FL following the 9/11 attack.

If you recall, the whole NFL season was delayed a week by that attack.

First of all, there was not a dry eye in the stadium during the singing of the National Anthem. Then as the phrase "Home of the Brave" was belted out, the US Navy did a fly-by with full afterburner. I simply bawled like a baby!!

The National Anthem and the fly-by was worth far more then the price of admission!!

Freedom is not Free.
