I know we had some vintage warbirds do a flyover for a game, but it has been a while.Smeghead4761 said:
Does anyone know if the Commemorative Air Force or any similar groups do flyovers?
Some old warbirds for Veterans' Day would be awesome.
If they can actually make something like that happen, we need Fifi or Doc as part of the flyover.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

I agree Mary! I was so disappointed in the flyover compared to the practice earlier in the day (that set off car alarms)
The Quad flyover was lower and would have been decent to film but I didn't even know it was coming and was between dorms on the way to stepoff. No time to get the phone out and hit record.
Bump!
What's the flyover for this weekend?

Helicopters
And is there a static display? Location? Time?
I want to take my boys out, but I don't want to break any hearts if no helos.

Lame. Unless a parachute team will be jumping out. That'd be cool.

The flyover planned for the Oct. 5 game against Missouri will feature four UH-60 Blackhawk helicopters and soldiers of the 11th Expeditionary Combat Aviation Brigade, the 7-158th Aviation Regiment and Alpha Company.
One Aggie will be part of this weekend's crew, Chief Warrant Officer 4 Christopher Frank '07.
In addition to the flyover, there will be a public Army helicopter display at Simpson Drill Field at 9 a.m. on Friday Oct. 4, as well as a contracting ceremony for Army cadets at 2 p.m. Take-off is scheduled between 3-4 p.m.
Support for gameday events is a small part of The Association's mission to serve Texas A&M and all Aggies, both current students and former students, and also highlights Aggies' continuing tradition of service to their country. The Association provides support each year for hundreds of Texas A&M scholarships, student organizations, former student programs, A&M traditions and more, thanks to gifts from some 60,000 annual donors.

I enjoyed seeing them fly over my house this afternoon. What time is the flyover tomorrow morning?
Soooooooooooo do we know what's happening this weekend yet?
I heard a rumor...I'm assuming official announcement will be forthcoming.trouble said:

With the airshow in houston id guess F16s or a F35 or F22. Possibly a mix n match.
AC-130 gunship, two F-35s, and two F-18s. Can't wait!
Sadly no F22 at the Houston airshow this year, but they do have the F16 demo team.beb08 said:

Is this confirmed?
Any announcement here?
Haven't seen anything official anywhere.
Two fighter jets just flew over my house coming in from the east. Maybe F-15s??
I just heard them too
I heard there may be one more F-35 as well. Get your camera's ready!AggiePhil said:

Just watch out if the AC-130 starts flying in slow left hand circles.AggiePhil said:

Actually looks like a C-130J, not an AC. Still cool though!
That checks out. It's either an all Navy or all Marine Corps flyover then. Having an AF gunship with Navy/Marine Corps F/A-18s would be odd.
Does anyone know if any of the planes will be landing after the flyover? Trying to decide if it'll be better to just go wait on the route to the field or go to the airport and watch a few fly bys.
2- F/A 18's & 2- F35's. Flyover 6:24pm
…. And an AC-130?
YES!!!
