Except doors don't open until 90 minutes (hour and a half) before kick... so no one is gonna be in the stadium.EMY92 said:
We've had flyovers 2 hours prior to kickoff in the past for night games. With sunset at 5:30, it doesn't make sense to flyover right before the game.
Maybe find an empty field to strafe a few times would be the icing on the cake. That is an A-Wing from Star Wars.WonkaTXRanger said:
Here's General Dynamics' concept aircraft with that same thought process.

Twice on Saturday, two A-10 Warthogs one with an Aggie '14 pilot will pass over the Texas A&M campus crowds!
Because the 6:35 p.m. football kickoff is after civil twilight, the two planes from the 104th Fighter Squadron of the Maryland Air National Guard will pass over campus earlier:
4:25 p.m. flying south to north over the 12th Man Statue between Kyle Field and the MSC.
4:45 p.m., again flying south to north, over the Corps Quad as the Corps readies to step off at 5 p.m. for march-in.
Pilots of the A-10s are:
Capt. Nicholas "Puck" Hope '14
1st Lt. Taylor "Pistol" Price (graduate of VMI)
WHOOP and thank you to these pilots, their squadron, and all who have coordinated and carried out these flyovers for the 2019 Texas A&M football season! The Association of Former Students is proud to play a small role in this part of the gameday experience: tx.ag/Flyovers. If you are an active member, you help provide hotel accommodations for the crews. Thank you, gig 'em, and #BTHOsouthcarolina!

A poster on Premium posted about 30 minutes ago that the A-10s just arrived and flew over them a couple times near campus.
