The triangle shape is a B-52 bomber🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
That's our American military, may God bless them all. Those pilots, protect artillery and infantry, and rescue our fallen. It puts football into perspective. We fight to play football.
We Americans are a little obsessed with our military. We may not always be thrilled with our government but we love our brothers and sisters in the armed forces and are thankful every day to live in the this beautiful United States of America. We are a very proud and patriotic country. I think that one of things that makes us so great is our diverse people and cultures from all over the world.
The flyover with the huge flag covering the field is amazing. I have never seen the stealth go over but a lot of different ones for Ravens games
During the National Anthem, they fly over when the singer says the land of the "FREE"
They also do fly overs where they (military) parachute into the stadium & land on the football field. That's great to watch too.
Golden Knights!
@3:15 that is a b-2 spirit stealth bomber. They are so much fun to see irl. They are only like 3meters tall because of the lack of tail and they look like a black line as they fly towed you, once they get overhead you get to see the cool boomerang shape but it is still hard to realize how big they are. They have a wingspan as wide as the field.
Side note I live next to the airbase where they train all the F22 pilots so they fly almost directly over my house most every day. My neighbors hate it but I'm a history/military buff so I love it 😁🍻
As a former Air Force brat….I’m jealous 🤣
the few times I've seen them in the sky it genuinely looked like the sky was a puzzle and it made the sky look like it had a missing puzzle piece.
I live across the street from NAS Oceana. I love the sound of freedom!
Google says 5.18 meters but might be with the gear down
Fun fact both aircraft you mentioned look like a bumblebee on a radar cross section
When you come to America, check out the Wright Patterson Air Force Base Museum in Dayton, Ohio. They have a Stealth Bomber on display. Also, the Ohio State Buckeyes play football in Columbus, Ohio, in the Autumn.
There will be two NFL games played in Germany later this year. One each in Frankfurt and Munich.
They are not exhibition matches but actual regular season games.
I might have to see if i can manage a trip there.
The same thing is happening here in Arizona. It’s snowing when it shouldn’t be (like on the Arizona Mexico border) and 2 summers ago, we lived in the hottest place on earth at 129° F and 3 solid months of 110°+ days. California and Arizona were on fire.
This morning at 6 am it was 39° for the low and in a couple of days it’s going to shift to 95° high 65° low (closer to average here in spring). It’s been unusually humid and cold causing heavier snowfall in the north of the state and unprecedented lighter snowfall in the south (in spring).
We also have dust storms and monsoons to deal with annually which have caused flooding in low lying areas of the valley with evacuations of some areas when the storms roll in from Cali.
Beneficially, the water table is filling up again after becoming dangerously strained since our long hot summer.
To me it feels like, Mother Nature taking care of business, waxing and waning with the rising global temperatures.
All we can do, is Adapt.
Earth has it’s own time schedules for self survival, we are mere insects on the cosmic scale.
She could be on her way to the next ice age cycle in battle with the sun, regardless of our help and interference.
Derrick Thomas was a football player quit playing football after 9/11 to join the military and he was killed
I think you may be thinking of Pat Tillman. Derrick Thomas was killed in a car accident in 2000 so we had passed before 9/11 happened.
If you want to see more about the B-2 stealth bomber (weird bat-like boomerang aircraft) you should watch "Why no nation wants to fight the B-2 Bomber". It is huge and quite a unique aircraft. It is in line to be replaced by the similar looking B-21 Raider which is still going through its final trials before going into service but it will still be several years before the B-2 is ready to be retired.
I am lucky enough to live next to Pensacola, home of the Blue Angels. We get to watch them practice and it's so amazing!
You cut him off. It was "If you're watching it around the world, you see that and you get it, America's pretty cool."
Flyovers before a football game definitely brings the whole energy up. The crowd goes insane and the players know it’s time to go 😈 you should definitely come visit the states!
When you're in the stadium you feel the whole ground shake when those jets fly over
Buy tickets to the playoffs or super bowl. Fly overs don't always happen for all games. Or, over our summer get to a Blue Angels show. They are military precision flying shows.
"Why no one wants to fight the A-10 Warthog" is something you will enjoy. A plane that shoots bullets that are the size of a beer bottles and made of depleted uranium. At a rate of 60 per SECOND. Brrrrt!
One of my favorite military planes
You are a friend of America.. Thank you for sharing some of our pride and seeing the positive in it.
I’ve witnessed a flyover once and it was at a college football game. Like he said, if you’re not expecting it, it might scare you😂
The most impressive flyover that I've seen was at Bristol Motor Speedway in Tennessee. It was a flight of A-10's that were able to really show how nimble the A-10 is by essentially doing a "Lap" around the track (1/2 mile track). Wasn't a true 1/2 mile circuit for them due to the height they were flying at but it wouldn't have been much larger given how low they were.
the very first day of my active duty career in the usaf- we had a morning briefing near the end of the runway, and f-15s were taking off one after another. it was vibrating my chest so much i couldn't understand anything being said. i was shook. i had goosebumps. my adrenaline and testosterone were jacked just from the whole experience of standing there. i joined the af to get a college degree, but at that moment i knew i wasn't going home in four years. after working in 22 different countries and 3 wars i'm currently retired- living outside an airforce base :)
Jona, it brought tears to my eyes to see you talk about America! Many of us take for granted how blessed we are here. There will always be the complainers, but the do not reflect the majority of our citizens. Praying you make it soon. God bless you and your family.
I was an A-10 crew chief so I am partial to it being the best and we also had two squadrons of F16 so I was use to them, but we went to Vegas for a month and the Thunderbirds are stationed there and practice during the week. The first few times it is awesome but then the noise wears on you lol, I still love them but I will stick to my turbo fan A-10 that is not quite as loud and with a much bigger gun. And the national anthem always gives me chills and lets me know how good I have it. Good video
Dude is going to go nuts when he gets to watching videos about the A-10 and it's role in close air support.
Hopefully he does that before the AC-130. That will probably get him to volunteer for the US Air Force
"Why no one wants to fight the A-10 Warthog" should certainly be on his list.
I'm a graduate of the United States Air Force Academy (USAFA)...many years ago, and a 30-year veteran of the United States Air Force. In my cadet days, whenever the rival service academy (the United States Military Academy at West Point [Army] or the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis [Navy]) were being hosted at USAFA, we would have flyovers of pretty much every aircraft in the USAF inventory...it was absolutely amazing. I so miss those days. However, today's aircraft are so much more impressive, so it still gives me chills when there's a flyover. I've lived in over 30 places around the world and have seen incredible things, but there's nothing that compares to a flyover.
B-2 bomber the one you said looks like starwars
Jono, my Dad was a USAF pilot all my life in his house. Saw many flyovers, sonic booms are heart stoppers.
3:10 The Northrop B-2 Spirit AKA the Stealth Bomber because it can fly below radar.
Actually, it doesn't fly below radar. It's radar cross section is so small that it's essentially invisible on radar. It's been stated that it's radar cross-section is the size of an insect.
The stealth is actually based on geometry that deflects radar signals and materials that absorb radar signals. We have lots of planes that can fly low.
My father was in SAC. Ive seen more military flyovers than I can count. I've watched buffs taking off and would swear they are never going to get off the ground, but they always did.
Ya can't beat the visual of the B-2 Spirit Bomber! Very menacing looking plus the sound!
It's a privilege to "see" through your eyes what makes so many Americans proud of their country, to offset when other Americans disparage it.
In bush Alaska here!!! You should see the snow on my roof right now! We've had multiple feet this winter. Alaskans are different tho and out here in the bush we don't have weather reports.......when you ask them "how much snow did we get?" they respond, "look out the window and see". 😄 But we've had close to 20 feet of snow this winter....possibly more.
you guys get real snow there, here the last few years it melts so quick you're left with horrible slush. I can't imagine 20ft of snow, that sounds insane.
I love flyovers and I especially love Air Races. My family is from Ohio and my great grandfather built airplanes, flew airplanes, and breathed airplanes. Proud to be descended from the Birthplace of Aviation as well as the Country that made way to this beautiful technology.
If you're into aircraft, check out the A-10 Warthog. I love that beast, it is the ground infantrymans best friend.
"The Unbelievable Power of the B-2 Bomber" should be your next reaction.
We go to Atlanta motor Speedway and Talladega motor Speedway for the Sprint cup race every year and the flyovers are awesome
Love your reactions. Pls do a Q & A video about yourself and your country. Would love to see the landscapes, your animals, etc. Love your animal sculptures in the background.
You would absolutely be a welcome guest In the United States. I worked with South Africans overseas. Love you Afrikaans.
They actually use the flyover as practice for Time-Over-Target (ToT) operations, where the exact timing of an air attack is massively important. It's literally timed down to the second.
Check out the BLUE ANGELS demonstration air shows… they are Sooo awesome to see their tricks & maneuvering of their aircraft!
I live just across the river from Jaguars stadium in Jacksonville FL. I get to enjoy those flyovers from the comfort of my own yard.
My Veterans Group participates in the annual Veterans Day Parade in Auburn, Washington. (Largest Veterans Day Parade west of the Mississippi River) We almost always have some sort flyover from the Army, Air Force or some other official governmental group. Always impressive to witness.
Flippin Heck!!! I just subscribed to your channel. Love your energy and comments! We have border issues also!!! Love from Texas🤠🤠🤠
Thanks for subbing!
It's more than just coordinating. The aircraft flyover is timed with the final note of the national anthem. On the word "Brave" they pass over. Watch Chris Stapleton's rendition to see the perfectly timed flyover by an all female crew.
I grew up as an Air Force brat and one of my favorite things was going to the air shows every year at whichever base my dad was stationed at! At the later shows I got to see more than most people since my dad had a higher rank and could get us access “backstage”! I remember getting to sit inside some of the jets that nobody else could. But, even more impressive for me was after my dad retired we moved to Savannah, Ga near an army base and we lived right on a golf course very near the base. That base had a lot of Rangers (special forces) who did exercises very often. And one day I was in the house when all of a sudden it felt like we were having an earthquake! I went out back to the golf course and there were 5 Chinook helicopters hovering over the course with dozens of Rangers repelling down the ropes onto the driving range! Another time my mom and I were driving past the base right by an island that was on the base in one of the channels that went to the Atlantic and some helicopters again were hovering when suddenly a bunch of Rangers started jumping out of the copter into the water! They were so cool
Thank you for your appreciation of our country. I hope you are able to make it over here for a visit.
You ought to see the fly over for the Air Force Academy games. They fly over several different types of planes. Very cool!
If you can find one you should do a video on Derrick Thomas. In my opinion one of the best linebackers ever, if not for his life being cut short who knows what he could've been. A man with a heart of gold.
The Bold Eagle on the video is Challenger the Free Flying Eagle, and he flies during The National Anthem at Sports Events.
Hell yeah you would be a welcome guest in the USA!
I love the flyover. I live across the waterway from the US Navy Blue Angels Precision Flight team . I can set outside and get a full air show . You would really enjoy checking out the Blue Angels
When you see an even number of aircraft ( Center and 2 on one side and only 1 on the other) ... That's called the "missing man" formation ... it's done to honor those that didn't return from their mission.
I'm in N.E. South Dakota. Still under blizzard warnings. With 7-12" of snow tonight. And expecting another 10-14, through Tuesday and Wednesday of next week. Tonight's snow driven by 55mph winds.
Thanks for this video. You're like me: fly-overs give me the chills. I feel shivers up and down my spine with a good fly-over. But for me there is a formula for the perfect fly-over: gimme low, fast and loud. A few years ago I attended the Exhibition Air Show in Toronto. A SR-71 flew right over me and started a climb. The result was that I was looking up into the exhaust of the engines. That crackling sound and the resulting vibration of the ground on which I was sitting is unforgettable. What a plane! Speaking of the SR-71, there is a video on RUclips that would REALLY, REALLY be worth your time to see. If you haven't already viewed "LA Speed Story", I suggest you do so. You won't be disappointed.
Im not from the states but theres nothing like a fly over from a plane during an air show. But the first time i saw a eurofighter was when i was a teen and it was 2005/06 during a camping and canoing trip through the locks of scotland, and half way across one of the south western locks all we heard was this loud sound coming from behind so we all stopped and the next thing we knew was two fighters none of us recognised flew over probably not a couple hundred feet above the lock manouvering and then the sonic boom as they just zipped between the hills. Gotta be one of the coolest experinaces and then of coirse seeing the spitfire, hurrican and lancaster flying over heard for an airshow after being told they might not make it was also damn amazing
Please come ...You and your family are so welcome. You will love it here.
Now you need to do a reaction to the Stealth Bomber. It's nearly invisible on radar. Check out the "Why no nation wants to fight the B-2 Bomber"
coming soon
Very cool video. I was in the Navy and stationed in Pensacola Florida home of the Blue Angels. Always a thrill to see flyovers, the power and sheer power of those aircraft is exciting. Just like when I was stationed on the Aircraft Carrier there is so much that goes into flying all that power.
We would love to have you and your family visit the U.S. Please, come and explore all the wonderful things we have here. You will find sooooo much more here than a video can show you.
one day,it has to happen
Going to a Raiders game in Las Vegas would probably be the best deal and experience for your family if your trip to the U.S. is going to involve an NFL game.
If it makes you feel any better, it's snowing here in Utah today. Being a native Californian and not growing up around it, I love it when it snows, but I see the long faces about town. :-)
oh no I'm not a fan of the snow
Snow here in AZ too.
Even snowed at the southern border a couple of weeks ago (Tucson, Sierra Vista)
Could you imagine snow in San Diego ever entering your mind until now?
I subscribed, liked and big notifications. I love the stuff you are watching . They showed a flyover with A-10 Warhogs. I was going to suggest a video of their bad boy gun ship. Thanks and cheers🎉
As others below have mentioned, the 'start Wars' plane you mentioned is the B2, a stealth bomber that is a flying wing. The F22 and F35 are also stealth planes. At timestamp 5:05, you only mentioned the red stadium, but the really impressive item in this scene is the B-52 bomber, a plane that went into service in 1955, and is still the mainline bomber of the US air force. While is has NO stealth characteristics, it has many others: (1) is has the world record for an unrefueled flight - 12,500 miles (half way around the world). (2) Carries almost the most payload of any bomber today - 70,000 lbs. (2) Dropped 40% of all bombs by weight in Desert Storm (1991). (4) Has the longest record of any plane in service since its original design made it (a) very robust, and (b) that it is so upgradeable. It will be getting new modern engines in a few years, allowing the plane to be in service into the 2050's. There was also another large US military plane in the flyover scenes, which is the Galaxy C5, a very large military transport, which can carry 2 Abram tanks (each 70 tons). Russia has one transport bigger.
8:19 the formation seen here looks like the 'missing man' formation. Notice there is a gap where the wingman should be. Done to honor/commemorate a fallen pilot, veteran, or political figure.
"That" was the B-2 Stealth Bomber.
That was the B2 Stealth bomber. Virtually invisible to radar.
When you see more planes on one side than the other thats whats called the missing man formation.
It honers those who didnt make it back.
Flyover !!
It’s awesome and sometimes it scares you - after 9/11 we had Jets flying around a lot. It was a bit scary but also made you feel proud of our armed forces. I subscribed!🥰
"That" is a stealth bomber, designed to reflect radar to remain undetected.
The big arrow shaped bomber you asked about is called the B2-Spirit and they cost like 2 billion dollars each to make
3:30 what is it? really bad news if you're not an ally and it's that close. 😂🤣
(it's a B-2 bomber.)
They showed almost everything but the B-52 and the ospray, and the B-21 but that one is really new
There was a B-52 at 5:00
I’ve seen both and the biggest reaction I’ve seen to a flyover is the eagle. The one I saw was named Challenger but he retired and they have a new one now.
I felt compelled to subscribe and like this video because I was feeling extra frisky
haha, thank you
New here, enjoy your perspective, looking around your other videos. 👍
You also have to remember that we just dont have Military around our skies, unless you're right next to a base. So when we DO see our military flying over-head, its a big deal... to everyone.
p.s. @4:59 & @5:35 those are A10 Warthogs (those are badass, look them up)
The military paid the NFL millions of dollars to perform flyovers and other influence operations in stadiums. The NFL has an enormous audience of young men that the Dept. of Defense covets as potential recruits. When sports media discovered the arrangement they labeled it "Paid Patriotism". After the public found out the deal was quickly cancelled. The flyovers continue but the arrangement between the NFL and military is not fully known. It was one of the most embarrassing chapters for the NFL.

We live 7 miles from the University of Notre Dame and we have a fly over EVERY game! sometimes 5 sometimes 4 sometimes 7 and now we have 3 of these wicked stealth bombers that you see at 3:33 I swear no joke they have NO sound they will scare the puckie out of you when you are out in the yard on a Saturday and all of the sudden you think we are being invaded 🙄.
I hope you make it over. We welcome you and your loved ones.
If you visit america and bring your children they will never forget the flyover. It will be a cherished memory
This video made me very appreciative. U said that before u die u want to see a flyover with all the glamour. I remember seeing my first flyover when I was 5. I was in memorial stadium with a 90,000 person capacity. They did the missing flyer formation which is 4 planes in a V with the fifth missing. This signifies someone being killed in the group. Notice how in these vids u see a lot of them. Yes the United States has a lot of cool toys to kill people but we get killed too. Not gonna brag our ratio was like 6,000-millions of people. We are bred to kill. I have multiple guns for no reason.
Very awesome sight, how ever if you just blast AC/DC before each game; pretty much the same effect🤘❤️
That's our B2 Bomber.
Jono you will be welcomed anywhere you go in America. We have a bad wrap that we are uncultured and obnoxious, yes some are, but there are people like that everywhere in the globe. We are welcoming, we take interest in people or things that are foreign to us. Yeah we might sound obnoxious but thats because sometimes we take tor granted the things we have that others in the world don't. But we like to treat people well and change their minds about America so whenever you visit is not the last and you more often than not will make friends forever.
I remember just after the national lockdown, president Trump asked the blue angels and the thunderbirds todo flyovers in certain cities. It was amazing.
You just described Illinois weather lol. Snow one day, 75 and sunny the next. We get all 4 seasons in a week.
The winter has really gotten to me this year, All i want to do is start my veggie garden and build my chickens a new house, but the weather isn't playing ball at all, snow and freezing today again.
I love the fly overs...I had the chance to watch the AIR FORCES "THUNDERBIRDS"OMG...AWESOME..PLEASE check them out..their Airedale monsters are a sight to see...left me in tears...so much pride for my country..U.S.A
.
The fly over of the most recent Super Bowl were jets all piloted by WOMEN PILOTS!!! Now that’s AWESOME!
Women can mindlessly kill for Wall Street weapons companies too!
Come to the USA 🇺🇸, alot of people would love to have you!! Be well
We need to get back to these times...
Jono you would be a awsome American ❤️🤍💙
For an NFL game, if you have choices on which one to go to be sure to pick the one with the best tailgating!
Ur bucket list item I do 8 times a year in the fall
Just remember, not all games have flyovers. I would think (no statistics) you will have flyovers every 4th game. There might be less than that.
That's the Blue Angels in the 1st one
Jono, come to Arrowhead where the Chiefs play home games. Once in a lifetime experience!
That planning is for the Chicago bears onlt 2 hours from me
That alien looking plane is the B-52 Bomber or stealth bomber
The plane you’re wondering about is the Stealth Bomber❤️🤍💙🇺🇸
Weather. Check out the videos of the tornado the happened the 31st of Mach in middle and southeastern states. We last half the farm which included the house. Sheer terror
