The 10 best Flyovers of all time.

Those flyovers were great, especially #5. But the best flyover I personally witnessed was during our graduation from Squadron Officer School at Maxwell AFB. A B-1 in full burner surprised us from behind doing 0.98 M at 250’ AGL. It was impressive. About a year later I ran into the Aircraft Commander at Dyess AFB O’Club and we chatted about it. Good times.

If that was around 1994, I was there ... he rocked the place :)
 
Those are great flyovers! I would like to share a flyover three friends and I performed for a small six man football game in my hometown of Garden City, Texas this September. For obvious reasons, it's my favorite!
 
The best flyover for me was last year shortly after Sept 4 (Jolly38 day). Someone in the community stopped by for lunch and on his way out he and his buddy did a modified missing man for me. Still brings tears.
 
Here you go. 2 views from my cameras. I installed one on A2 (Jar Head) and one on my boot cowl.

I’m not sure if it’s ironic or sad or what but soon after, you got weathered in and they threw me into your flight and we broke the record with 50 ships. The FAA tried everything to shut us down but weren’t able to. Then, the rule change that may keep the record in tact for a very long time.
Folks can google “Phoenix International Raceway 50 ship flyover”. There’s a few not so great videos out there.
Thanks AC and, I’m still sorry!
