Just to point out since this comes up a lot, these aren't a waste of taxpayer dollars. The military considers these part of the required amount of flying hours for pilot training, the American public just gets a free show on the side. The bomber flyovers sometimes actually simulate a bombing run with the stadium as the target XD
@@DennisMerwood-xk8wp dear idiot, the funding and training hours are already allocated. It's just a matter of where it's done. If it weren't done over a stadium they would have another route planned. The respective leagues ask them to do it and they arrange the training schedule to plan for flyovers. Why are you people this uninformed? Too much CNN?
@@kerryknight228 The basic acquisition price of an F/A-18 A Hornet is approximately $21 million per plane. However, after being specially equipped, each plane costs $56 million. The US Navy budgets about $40 million a year to maintain the squadron. According to the Boston Phoenix, in 2007, annual salaries for 114 support personnel cost $5.6 million. Pilot salaries cost approximately $12 million annually. It costs roughly $20 million in fuel expenses for shows (rehearsals and performances, based on 2010 jet fuel price) a year. Plus, it costs approximately $2 million on staff lodging and meals to do these shows each year. So based on these numbers, the Blue Angels cost American taxpayers roughly $112-million every year. Blue Angel jets burns about 8,000 pounds of jet fuel per hour of flight. 8,000 pounds of jet fuel equals 1,200 gallons. Since there are six demonstration jets that's 48,000 pounds of jet fuel per hour or 7,200 gallons per hour. For a 4-hour show that's 28,800 gallons. Enough to drive your family car 864,000 miles. It costs $13,344,000 in fuel alone to train just one Commanding Officer and $85,957,200 in fuel for the training of the 14 other pilots. A horrendous waste of tax payer money.

MacDill Air Force Base from 1969 until the early eighties had F4 phantoms and Canberra bombers permanent station. Every other type of plane the Air Force owned would fly into MacDill and out of MacDill from time to time as it was a sac base at the time. I was about three miles off the main gate. I never considered it noise or a pain or annoying to me that sound is the sound of freedom.
You can’t describe the feeling of standing in the stadium listening to the National Anthem and then the fly overs. It is timed perfectly. The sound is deafening and depending on what flys over the stadium shakes. Also depending on what they are flying, in Nashville the pilots are in the stadium at half time and are introduced to the crowd. Love it.
Had some doing live fire practice not far from my home a few weeks ago... That sound made my hair stand on end (bc I knew immediately what it was)... My family: "What in the hell was that?!" Me holding back tears: "FREEDOM!"

I used to live near a stadium and a ball park here in Texas. Flyovers would happen and I knew a big game was about to start. I was also a subcontractor at Lockheed Martin some years back and would see the jets flying around there too.
Hi guys. So glad you did this reaction. The flyovers do tend to bring people together for a minute. Sadly in todays world there aren't as many who really get the warm feeling of pride that we used to have so much more of. Hope we can get back to that one day. Quick story. My brother was a 30 year military guy. Many of those years as a SEAL. They were stationed in Virginia Beach which has both an Amphibious Base (where my bro worked) and a Naval Air Station. Their house was closer to the Air Base so they got lots of overhead traffic. Well I was down visiting for a couple weeks and for a few days there were other visitors as well. Every time for the first 2 days that a jet went over they would start talking about the noise and "how can you guys stand it" etc. Well I guess my brother finally had heard enough. We were all sitting in the family room talking and watching a game. My nephew who was about 10 or 12 at the time was sitting on the floor doing homework, Sure enough you could hear the sound of an approaching jet and the griping started again. That plane passed and another approached and my brother called to his son. He looked at his Dad and said what? My brother said what is that and pointed to the sky. My nephew listened and said "Oh that's just the sound of freedom Dad" and went back to his work. We didn't hear another gripe about the noise for the rest of their visit. Hope 2021 is a better year for all of you fellows and everyone out there. Stay safe and well. You guys should check out the Tomb of the unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery. The changing of the guard there is very cool as well. In that same patriotic vein, 2 music videos that are tributes to fallen warriors of all wars and all generations. Both by Trace Adkins.

I live a few miles from an NFL stadium and when they do fly overs, they typically fly directly over our house on at least the entrance or exit. Four A-10 flew over two weeks ago.
I live directly across the river from the Jaguar NFL stadium in Jacksonville, Florida. The fly overs fly RIGHT over my house every time. It's a free show. Awesome. If you're in the stadium or my driveway, you can feel it in your chest. It's really really incredible.
This was the first video of y’all I watched almost 3 years ago. Since then I’ve watched every video multiple times for two years since. Crazy what one video can turn into
I was working on equipment topside (chaff launchers) when F-14s did a surprise “flyover” at about 150 ft. you don’t hear them till they’re 100 yards past you & the sonic boom scares your lunch out of you… We thought the launchers went off
Great one today. Relatively knew to your channel but I must admit I enjoy listening to regular guys from another place and your take because too often we are inundated by experts who want to tell us what to think. Great job
I grew up near a NASCAR race track and the jets would come in a few days early. We always see the jets on race week. I remember one time I was at recess and the jets flew over head and I didn’t think “hey is there a race Sunday.” Me and the rest of the kids stood there in awe of the jets and many waved. I remember going home and telling my mom about the planes that flew over our school. I’m not sure if they deliberately flew over the playground or not, but that was the coolest thing!
This was the first video of y’all I watched. Since then I’ve watched every video multiple times for two years since. Crazy what one video can turn into
England is so cool. You speak of the Spitfire and other vintage war planes. You guys really know who to honor the soldiers of WWII. My brother has been to several of the reenactments of those shows. Very impressive.
During the COVID pandemic the Navy Blue Angels and the Air Force Thunderbirds were doing flyovers in many U.S. cities. I was lucky enough to see them in the Houston, TX area.
These flyovers are very exciting, but I must say as someone who lives across the water from Logan Airport, Boston. It is not nearly as exciting when commercial aircraft take off or land over your house every 20 mins 😂 Another fun vid guys. The best reaction channel on YT!
As a half Japanese half American. Born and raised in Dallas Texas living in Japan for over a decade now. The whiskey 🥃 and videos like this remind me how great America is. Them flyovers.
I worked in an office in Palmdale and the big stealth bomber would do touch and go landings every once in a while and the car alarms went off for miles around. It was amazing to hear the power in it!
Guess I took it for granted cause I grew up on an Air Base. I was used to jets breaking the sound barrier daily. Now when there is an Air Show in Chicago , I’m amazed at the 100s of thousands who go to it. Wow. I see them doing the flyover in Chicago
I live in Jacksonville, FL, which is where the Blue Angels first took flight. I have never been to a Jag game that didn't have a fly-over. Living right across the river from NAS Jax, I see fly-overs every day.
The B-2 stealth is housed at Whiteman AFB near Kansas City, MO. Every KC Chiefs game I have been to there has started with a B-2 flyover. Everyone should experience it once from the upper deck. One word, AWESOME!
I go to the most home games for the Green Bay Packers. We always have the fighter keys fly over and it always a thrill. It’s amazing when the pilots show up at the game, we go crazy for them!!
Back in the 1990s, celebrating Independence Day in Boston, I had the thrill of seeing one of the first B-2 Spirit flyovers WHILE I was standing on the deck of the USS Constitution...there is nothing quite like the sound of the thing...but you are right that it does not look of this world. Nowadays, I live in a place where massive C-5 Galaxy cargo planes very frequently fly over as they take off and land from Westover ARB in Massachusetts. ✌
Like how you were saying when the planes go over everyone forgets that there are rival teams its all about America. That happens in a baseball game on the day Osama bin Laden was killed and the news spread across the stadium, everyone forgets that the game is happening. You should react to that!
@@officeblokedaz sorry for the late response! I have been on vacation for the past weekend! Here is the link for the video! ruclips.net/video/uVeTLjJVlr4/видео.html
People think it's a waste of money but in truth, these flyovers are just part of the regular training budget. They're going to use the fuel anyway, so it might as well be at a football game.
There is a place I go camping often on the Kern River in Golden Trout Wilderness. California, it’s not too far from Edwards Air Force Base. The fighter jets come roaring up the river following the canyon twists and turns, it’s very impressive. They are traveling faster than the speed of sound at times. I have seen them so close that I could read the numbers on their wings. Once, a pilot did a barrel roll right over where we were camping, to our cheers, it was so close I could see the pilot in the cockpit when he went upside-down. Mind-blowing.
The fly over is our second best Football tradition. Our best tradition is showing up for the game three hours early and drinking beer and grilling in the parking lot to protest the over price concessions inside. Our third best tradition is trying to drink three beers in the time it takes to walk from the car to the place security feels you up before letting you inside the stadium.
I am of Scottish heritage and live in North Carolina, not far from Fraser's Ridge. I am not an Outlander addict, but the culture and history of Scotland intrigues me. Good show!
Was at an Florida State home football game versus Chattanooga, and they Did a B-2 flyover and it shook the whole stadium!! Was amazing!! Fly overs are awesome!!
Derrick Thomas. Reaction. Those are the only 3 words needed. He was Lawarence Taylor without the drugs. Best pure pass rusher ever. Loved his dad that died in Vietnam.
U.S. military uses fly overs as part of their training so the cost is already factored into the budget and that's why we can have so many fly overs at sporting events.
My grandparents live beneath a training area for the airforce and you can often hear them flying around shooting practice flares. Occasionally they will go supersonic and you'll feel them chasing eachother. You almost never see them though. They arent there for show.
When I was stationed in the Navy, at Coronado Island, on the west coast, Barack Obama came to watch the bball college game, on the carrier flight deck. It was called the "carrier classic."...I was just outside my barracks and saw the flyover, live while streaming the game, live on my computer... pretty cool.🇺🇲
Your last statement is so correct. Everyone is quiet in solidarity and as soon as the words "and the home of the brave!" are sung there's guaranteed to be someone yelling "let's fucking kill them!" immediately after.
There's something about the thunderous roar of a formation flight of military aircraft flying overhead that just gives you a huge rush of "F*CK YEAH!" energy
I worked near the downtown airport in Kansas City when the squadron of A10's was coming in one after another to land prior to the Chiefs game that year. It was awesome to see them coming in at under 500 feet to land.
Flyover are pretty awesome and it is the noise and the power but if you want an excellent experience....The SR 71, when it’s flying over, you can feel it in your chest, it’s amazing.
I love fly-overs and my preference is for multiple jet fighters. And to make it perfect add in the elements of low, fast and loud. However, one of my favorite fly-overs did not happen at a football game. A good few years ago I was at a Canadian National Exhibition airshow in Toronto sitting on the grass at the water's edge when a SR-71 flew right over my head at a low altitude. As it did so it started to climb resulting in me looking up directly into those massive engines. I will never forget the crackling sound coming from those engines and the vibration they caused in the ground upon which I was sitting. This plane came from California for the Toronto air show and then flew to Cleveland for a similar appearance before returning to California. All done in a matter of hours. A trip, only part of which would have taken several months only a hundred years ago.
I'm in Jacksonville, FL, where we've got some air stations, so when I was able to go to the home games here, there was pretty much always a flyover. The F-18s and F-16s are pretty awesome, but the B-52 and B-2 are most memorable, especially because they fly relatively low and you can feel it all through the stadium. The timing's awesome. And I also appreciated that once the pilots parked their planes, they'd head over to the stadium to be recognized during one of the commercial breaks. Funny thing is, while I was watching this, had an F-18 (maybe two) fly over my home, just the loud road of jet engines for a moment. At this point I'm not taken much off-guard by it, just take a moment to appreciate that sound because it's awesome. The one flyover of my home that did surprise me was when I used to live directly in the flight path into one of the air fields, and one morning got woken up by a large plane flying low enough that the sound and vibrations made it seem like the world was ending around me or something... kind of cool when it's not waking you up suddenly. Also remember when my folks lived near a small airport where they had Apaches stationed for a while, the Apaches would hover over homes and you could feel everything vibrate. Thankfully they don't get quite that low with a stadium.
Great story.. I was stationed on Coronado, on the west coast. During the '11 Carrier Classic, Obama was there on the Carl Vinson flight deck. I walked out my barracks and felt the vibration. I was streaming the bball game live, and it was about 5 seconds delayed on "live" telecast... pretty cool.🇺🇲👍🏾✈️
I'm lucky to have lived in San Diego for decades. My University, UCSD a mile at most near the Pacific ocean. Almost due east of was NAS MIRAMAR, when the carrier air wing were in we could always hear them practicing their touch and goes. Sadly one spring the Blue Angels were practicing their program before their annual show here. I was walking across campus at that time and heard such a tremendous bang that was ear shattering. For a few moments I had wondered if the chemistry lab had blown up. Nope. One of the guys was practicing a move where he flies upside down, very close to the runway.... Tragically he augured in and the wreckage and he were in shattered pieces all along it. I had always wanted to go to an airshows, but have to say after that, never went, but watched from afar... And never from the stands. Thank goodness no members of the public were there. But this past summer and fall into early winter everyone in Coronado (which sits smack in the middle of the harbor where the carriers are) was really giving us civilians a great show. We could see the F-35's or whatever zoom off and do their ops temp stuff practicing their landings on the carriers. Carriers were over the horizon so we couldn't see those. But we sure as heck got some chills up and down the spine hearing the roar of the fighter jets! Had fun watching the helos practicing too. A real treat... especially as the fighters were going out in those tight formations. 0f my 40 years out of my nearly 65 years has been in San Diego, and as often as I've seen the carriers here and observed these airwings in action, this stuff never gets old. Glad you enjoyed watching this. What a rush to even watch. I remember hearing once in an interview a carrier pilot was asked what a night landing was like. He said : "It's like having sex in a car crash.". I will take his word for it.
Granted I know you're guys so of course big planes get you jazzed. But I want to say thanks for being so positive about this tradition. Sooo many Europeans constantly box American ears for our wild patriotism. Not to mention it's just freaking cool man. How can you not love it.
Seeing the B-2 Bomber flyover is just unbelievable to see. Though my favorite I’ve seen is 3 planes from 3 generations: Spitfire from WW2, From Vietnam ( forget which plane) , and present day F-22. Just showed the evolution of the fighter jets.
The most recent flyover I really remember was over Camping World Stadium... on April 2nd, 2017. I wasn't _at_ Wrestlemania, but my house was in the flight path. Apparently my sister's house as well, considering I got a call from her almost immediately afterwards. (One of the few Manias I watched live, though. The highlight was probably Triple H being led to the ring by the Orlando Police Department. #aside)
One of the coolest flyovers is at nascars daytona 500 when you are actually there. The airport is right behind the track so you can also see them taking off and landing in formation. So loud.
1:11 that is Luke Keuchly, one of the best linebackers of all time, and probably the greatest player in my Carolina Panthers’ short history. You should absolutely watch a video about him, as he retired last January unexpectedly.
The best part about a pregame flyover is that it costs the NFL nor the city nor the military anything to do it. Because of the precision and timing and analysis, it's a training exercise.
Fighter jets are fucking awesome. The local air force base trains A-10s thru our mountain range and sometimes they’ll buzz our local ski mountain unannounced. Let me tell you, if you’re tired or not paying attention on the lift or trail, when those scream overhead it’s like the world is being ripped apart and you WILL wake up and feel an adrenaline rush. You can’t even hear them until they’re overhead and the sound is just incredible. Nothing like it.
Used to live in VA near naval base Oceana. It’s amazing as long as they weren’t flying over at 11pm, which they did sometimes. Lots of I love jet noise bumper stickers and just as many hate ones lol.
1990s stayed in a house directly under the take off path for the B-52 bomber wing stationed at Barksdale Airbase. Best though was 1968 Ft. Bragg used to see flyovers of UH-1s probably 60+ several times a week. Then going and watching unit air drops probably company size drops. they were jumping from C-119s
You cold always tell when a flyover was going to happen in college because my friends in the marching band would always talk about timing the national anthem that week so they could get it JUST right with the aircraft on gameday.
I love them because American football is basically the height of the nation's recreational enjoyment. And the flyover is a reminder of the hard work done and sacrifices made to reach a point where everyone can enjoy life on such a grand scale.
Rose Bowl Game about 10 years ago or so, had two B1B Lancers fly over and when they cleared the far edge of the stadium they pulled up, hit their afterburners and climbed out of sights it was one of the loudest noises I've ever heard. It was AWESOME!
The main purpose of the flyover is for practice flights or moving the planes from one place or another. They use it as drills and such. They're so freaking cool though, it gets you powered up!!
See the: XB-35 Flying Wing and XB-36 Film Clips, When one of these aircraft were making their approach the craft disappeared from radar. They thought the plane went down crashed. Then it appeared in visual range and landed. They knew the plane already had flight control issues but when the design fooled the radar it was shunted into a Black Project for further development.
Really cool but love to a few with allied planes like a couple of tornados in the mix. And don’t even get me started with Spitfires Mustangs......YEAH!!!!!

Hi guys. So glad you did this reaction. The flyovers do tend to bring people together for a minute. Sadly in todays world there aren't as many who really get the warm feeling of pride that we used to have so much more of. Hope we can get back to that one day. Quick story. My brother was a 30 year military guy. Many of those years as a SEAL. They were stationed in Virginia Beach which has both an Amphibious Base (where my bro worked) and a Naval Air Station. Their house was closer to the Air Base so they got lots of overhead traffic. Well I was down visiting for a couple weeks and for a few days there were other visitors as well. Every time for the first 2 days that a jet went over they would start talking about the noise and "how can you guys stand it" etc. Well I guess my brother finally had heard enough. We were all sitting in the family room talking and watching a game. My nephew who was about 10 or 12 at the time was sitting on the floor doing homework, Sure enough you could hear the sound of an approaching jet and the griping started again. That plane passed and another approached and my brother called to his son. He looked at his Dad and said what? My brother said what is that and pointed to the sky. My nephew listened and said "Oh that's just the sound of freedom Dad" and went back to his work. We didn't hear another gripe about the noise for the rest of their visit. Hope 2021 is a better year for all of you fellows and everyone out there. Stay safe and well. You guys should check out the Tomb of the unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery. The changing of the guard there is very cool as well. In that same patriotic vein, 2 music videos that are tributes to fallen warriors of all wars and all generations. Both by Trace Adkins. Here are the links. Hope you enjoy them even if you don't do reactions to them. ruclips.net/video/rJO7lJIxG10/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/GSEauSGFK74/видео.html
Nice, Jeff 👍🏻💙
Love your post, Jeff Detmer
Awesome story!
I was at a Football game after 911 and during the flyover the entire crowd was in tears. Man we've fallen so hard as a country.
I live a few miles from an NFL stadium and when they do fly overs, they typically fly directly over our house on at least the entrance or exit. Four A-10 flew over two weeks ago.
Gonna take a wild guess and say Baltimore?
I live directly across the river from the Jaguar NFL stadium in Jacksonville, Florida. The fly overs fly RIGHT over my house every time. It's a free show. Awesome. If you're in the stadium or my driveway, you can feel it in your chest. It's really really incredible.
This was the first video of y’all I watched almost 3 years ago. Since then I’ve watched every video multiple times for two years since. Crazy what one video can turn into
I always forget the stealth bomber exists until I see it. It’s like a surprise every time lol
I was working on equipment topside (chaff launchers) when F-14s did a surprise “flyover” at about 150 ft. you don’t hear them till they’re 100 yards past you & the sonic boom scares your lunch out of you… We thought the launchers went off
Great one today. Relatively knew to your channel but I must admit I enjoy listening to regular guys from another place and your take because too often we are inundated by experts who want to tell us what to think. Great job
Thanks Ronald. Appreciate that 👊🏻
3:40 The Alien tech is called a B-2 Spirit (Stealth Bomber)
I was at that Giants-Chiefs game right after 9/11. The whole presentation of the game was at a different level than a regular season game.
"The incredibly stupid one" by Simple History is great too.
In Britain - "Mach Loop" is the hot spot for aircraft observation. There are numerous RUclips videos.
Yes in Wales! One of my bucket list items is to go there and see it in person!
I've seen many flyover. Mainly at the Indy 500 and it never gets old. There is something that makes you feel good when it happens.
I grew up near a NASCAR race track and the jets would come in a few days early. We always see the jets on race week. I remember one time I was at recess and the jets flew over head and I didn’t think “hey is there a race Sunday.” Me and the rest of the kids stood there in awe of the jets and many waved. I remember going home and telling my mom about the planes that flew over our school. I’m not sure if they deliberately flew over the playground or not, but that was the coolest thing!
America!!! Love this so much. Proud patriot here!
This was the first video of y’all I watched. Since then I’ve watched every video multiple times for two years since. Crazy what one video can turn into
England is so cool. You speak of the Spitfire and other vintage war planes. You guys really know who to honor the soldiers of WWII. My brother has been to several of the reenactments of those shows. Very impressive.
During the COVID pandemic the Navy Blue Angels and the Air Force Thunderbirds were doing flyovers in many U.S. cities. I was lucky enough to see them in the Houston, TX area.
“Forget the game let’s get the Office Blokes on” 😂😂😂
These flyovers are very exciting, but I must say as someone who lives across the water from Logan Airport, Boston. It is not nearly as exciting when commercial aircraft take off or land over your house every 20 mins 😂
Another fun vid guys. The best reaction channel on YT!
Please react to " the green beret who went on a one man rampage to save his comrades" by Simple History.
R u referring 2 Sergeant Benavides?
@@horacecock-johnson5035 yep.
Great story
Sgt. Roy P. Benavidez: Legendary Badass
As a half Japanese half American. Born and raised in Dallas Texas living in Japan for over a decade now. The whiskey 🥃 and videos like this remind me how great America is. Them flyovers.
Yo...we pulled into Yakuska Navy base. We rode the train to party in Ropomggi. Sorry for the misspelling...great experience in Japan👍🏾
I worked in an office in Palmdale and the big stealth bomber would do touch and go landings every once in a while and the car alarms went off for miles around. It was amazing to hear the power in it!
Guess I took it for granted cause I grew up on an Air Base. I was used to jets breaking the sound barrier daily. Now when there is an Air Show in Chicago , I’m amazed at the 100s of thousands who go to it.
Wow. I see them doing the flyover in Chicago
I live in Jacksonville, FL, which is where the Blue Angels first took flight. I have never been to a Jag game that didn't have a fly-over. Living right across the river from NAS Jax, I see fly-overs every day.
The B-2 stealth is housed at Whiteman AFB near Kansas City, MO. Every KC Chiefs game I have been to there has started with a B-2 flyover. Everyone should experience it once from the upper deck. One word, AWESOME!
I go to the most home games for the Green Bay Packers. We always have the fighter keys fly over and it always a thrill. It’s amazing when the pilots show up at the game, we go crazy for them!!
Back in the 1990s, celebrating Independence Day in Boston, I had the thrill of seeing one of the first B-2 Spirit flyovers WHILE I was standing on the deck of the USS Constitution...there is nothing quite like the sound of the thing...but you are right that it does not look of this world. Nowadays, I live in a place where massive C-5 Galaxy cargo planes very frequently fly over as they take off and land from Westover ARB in Massachusetts. ✌
Like how you were saying when the planes go over everyone forgets that there are rival teams its all about America. That happens in a baseball game on the day Osama bin Laden was killed and the news spread across the stadium, everyone forgets that the game is happening. You should react to that!
What game was that Alex? That’d be great to do. 👍🏻
@@officeblokedaz sorry for the late response! I have been on vacation for the past weekend! Here is the link for the video! ruclips.net/video/uVeTLjJVlr4/видео.html
@@officeblokedaz glad you liked my suggestion!
@@officeblokedaz it would be great to see you react to it! It really is cool.
Flyovers aren't just exclusive to the NFL. But the US military do flyovers for the MLB, and NASCAR. It's usually the bigger games, or bigger races.
People think it's a waste of money but in truth, these flyovers are just part of the regular training budget. They're going to use the fuel anyway, so it might as well be at a football game.
Total bullshit. These fly overs need to be shit canned!
There is a place I go camping often on the Kern River in Golden Trout Wilderness. California, it’s not too far from Edwards Air Force Base. The fighter jets come roaring up the river following the canyon twists and turns, it’s very impressive. They are traveling faster than the speed of sound at times.
I have seen them so close that I could read the numbers on their wings. Once, a pilot did a barrel roll right over where we were camping, to our cheers, it was so close I could see the pilot in the cockpit when he went upside-down. Mind-blowing.
The fly over is our second best Football tradition. Our best tradition is showing up for the game three hours early and drinking beer and grilling in the parking lot to protest the over price concessions inside. Our third best tradition is trying to drink three beers in the time it takes to walk from the car to the place security feels you up before letting you inside the stadium.
I am of Scottish heritage and live in North Carolina, not far from Fraser's Ridge. I am not an Outlander addict, but the culture and history of Scotland intrigues me. Good show!
The military pilots have to log a certain number of hours each year to maintain their skills and flyovers count towards those hours.
They do sometimes have the guys in squirrel suits. I went to a game where they parachuted in and it was awesome!
3:30 fun fact! My dad owns a custom plastic fabrication shop, and has actually made several windshields for those planes
It just puts the biggest smile on my face!!
Was at an Florida State home football game versus Chattanooga, and they Did a B-2 flyover and it shook the whole stadium!! Was amazing!! Fly overs are awesome!!
Derrick Thomas. Reaction. Those are the only 3 words needed. He was Lawarence Taylor without the drugs. Best pure pass rusher ever. Loved his dad that died in Vietnam.
U.S. military uses fly overs as part of their training so the cost is already factored into the budget and that's why we can have so many fly overs at sporting events.
My grandparents live beneath a training area for the airforce and you can often hear them flying around shooting practice flares. Occasionally they will go supersonic and you'll feel them chasing eachother. You almost never see them though. They arent there for show.
When I was stationed in the Navy, at Coronado Island, on the west coast, Barack Obama came to watch the bball college game, on the carrier flight deck. It was called the "carrier classic."...I was just outside my barracks and saw the flyover, live while streaming the game, live on my computer... pretty cool.🇺🇲
Your last statement is so correct. Everyone is quiet in solidarity and as soon as the words "and the home of the brave!" are sung there's guaranteed to be someone yelling "let's fucking kill them!" immediately after.
There's something about the thunderous roar of a formation flight of military aircraft flying overhead that just gives you a huge rush of "F*CK YEAH!" energy
I worked near the downtown airport in Kansas City when the squadron of A10's was coming in one after another to land prior to the Chiefs game that year. It was awesome to see them coming in at under 500 feet to land.
Flyover are pretty awesome and it is the noise and the power but if you want an excellent experience....The SR 71, when it’s flying over, you can feel it in your chest, it’s amazing.
LMAO at the sound that was dubbed over the A-10 flyovers. Yeah… that’s definitely what an A-10 sounds like.
I love fly-overs and my preference is for multiple jet fighters. And to make it perfect add in the elements of low, fast and loud. However, one of my favorite fly-overs did not happen at a football game. A good few years ago I was at a Canadian National Exhibition airshow in Toronto sitting on the grass at the water's edge when a SR-71 flew right over my head at a low altitude. As it did so it started to climb resulting in me looking up directly into those massive engines. I will never forget the crackling sound coming from those engines and the vibration they caused in the ground upon which I was sitting. This plane came from California for the Toronto air show and then flew to Cleveland for a similar appearance before returning to California. All done in a matter of hours. A trip, only part of which would have taken several months only a hundred years ago.
I'm in Jacksonville, FL, where we've got some air stations, so when I was able to go to the home games here, there was pretty much always a flyover. The F-18s and F-16s are pretty awesome, but the B-52 and B-2 are most memorable, especially because they fly relatively low and you can feel it all through the stadium. The timing's awesome. And I also appreciated that once the pilots parked their planes, they'd head over to the stadium to be recognized during one of the commercial breaks.
Funny thing is, while I was watching this, had an F-18 (maybe two) fly over my home, just the loud road of jet engines for a moment. At this point I'm not taken much off-guard by it, just take a moment to appreciate that sound because it's awesome. The one flyover of my home that did surprise me was when I used to live directly in the flight path into one of the air fields, and one morning got woken up by a large plane flying low enough that the sound and vibrations made it seem like the world was ending around me or something... kind of cool when it's not waking you up suddenly. Also remember when my folks lived near a small airport where they had Apaches stationed for a while, the Apaches would hover over homes and you could feel everything vibrate. Thankfully they don't get quite that low with a stadium.
Great story.. I was stationed on Coronado, on the west coast. During the '11 Carrier Classic, Obama was there on the Carl Vinson flight deck. I walked out my barracks and felt the vibration. I was streaming the bball game live, and it was about 5 seconds delayed on "live" telecast... pretty cool.🇺🇲👍🏾✈️
I'm lucky to have lived in San Diego for decades. My University, UCSD a mile at most near the Pacific ocean. Almost due east of was NAS MIRAMAR, when the carrier air wing were in we could always hear them practicing their touch and goes. Sadly one spring the Blue Angels were practicing their program before their annual show here. I was walking across campus at that time and heard such a tremendous bang that was ear shattering. For a few moments I had wondered if the chemistry lab had blown up. Nope. One of the guys was practicing a move where he flies upside down, very close to the runway.... Tragically he augured in and the wreckage and he were in shattered pieces all along it. I had always wanted to go to an airshows, but have to say after that, never went, but watched from afar... And never from the stands. Thank goodness no members of the public were there. But this past summer and fall into early winter everyone in Coronado (which sits smack in the middle of the harbor where the carriers are) was really giving us civilians a great show. We could see the F-35's or whatever zoom off and do their ops temp stuff practicing their landings on the carriers. Carriers were over the horizon so we couldn't see those. But we sure as heck got some chills up and down the spine hearing the roar of the fighter jets! Had fun watching the helos practicing too. A real treat... especially as the fighters were going out in those tight formations. 0f my 40 years out of my nearly 65 years has been in San Diego, and as often as I've seen the carriers here and observed these airwings in action, this stuff never gets old. Glad you enjoyed watching this. What a rush to even watch. I remember hearing once in an interview a carrier pilot was asked what a night landing was like. He said : "It's like having sex in a car crash.". I will take his word for it.
Granted I know you're guys so of course big planes get you jazzed. But I want to say thanks for being so positive about this tradition. Sooo many Europeans constantly box American ears for our wild patriotism. Not to mention it's just freaking cool man. How can you not love it.
Seeing the B-2 Bomber flyover is just unbelievable to see. Though my favorite I’ve seen is 3 planes from 3 generations: Spitfire from WW2, From Vietnam ( forget which plane) , and present day F-22. Just showed the evolution of the fighter jets.
Love the channel; much love from America!!
The most recent flyover I really remember was over Camping World Stadium... on April 2nd, 2017. I wasn't _at_ Wrestlemania, but my house was in the flight path. Apparently my sister's house as well, considering I got a call from her almost immediately afterwards. (One of the few Manias I watched live, though. The highlight was probably Triple H being led to the ring by the Orlando Police Department. #aside)
It makes me choke up everytime I see those. They’re amazing
One of the coolest flyovers is at nascars daytona 500 when you are actually there. The airport is right behind the track so you can also see them taking off and landing in formation. So loud.
1:11 that is Luke Keuchly, one of the best linebackers of all time, and probably the greatest player in my Carolina Panthers’ short history. You should absolutely watch a video about him, as he retired last January unexpectedly.
The best part about a pregame flyover is that it costs the NFL nor the city nor the military anything to do it. Because of the precision and timing and analysis, it's a training exercise.
Fighter jets are fucking awesome.
The local air force base trains A-10s thru our mountain range and sometimes they’ll buzz our local ski mountain unannounced. Let me tell you, if you’re tired or not paying attention on the lift or trail, when those scream overhead it’s like the world is being ripped apart and you WILL wake up and feel an adrenaline rush. You can’t even hear them until they’re overhead and the sound is just incredible. Nothing like it.
Used to live in VA near naval base Oceana. It’s amazing as long as they weren’t flying over at 11pm, which they did sometimes. Lots of I love jet noise bumper stickers and just as many hate ones lol.
As the daughter of two air force vets - always took my parents to Veteran's Day game in Oakland. Always have the flyover. It hits different. ❤️❤️❤️
You guys have to do barry sanders highlights!!!!!! The best running back of all time
1990s stayed in a house directly under the take off path for the B-52 bomber wing stationed at Barksdale Airbase.
Best though was 1968 Ft. Bragg used to see flyovers of UH-1s probably 60+ several times a week. Then going and watching unit air drops probably company size drops. they were jumping from C-119s
You cold always tell when a flyover was going to happen in college because my friends in the marching band would always talk about timing the national anthem that week so they could get it JUST right with the aircraft on gameday.
Greetings from FLORIDA USA!
You guys are too funny! luv it!
I get goosebumps every single time.
I love them because American football is basically the height of the nation's recreational enjoyment. And the flyover is a reminder of the hard work done and sacrifices made to reach a point where everyone can enjoy life on such a grand scale.
Post 9/11, those flyovers always just made me feel safe to be there
Rose Bowl Game about 10 years ago or so, had two B1B Lancers fly over and when they cleared the far edge of the stadium they pulled up, hit their afterburners and climbed out of sights it was one of the loudest noises I've ever heard. It was AWESOME!
The main purpose of the flyover is for practice flights or moving the planes from one place or another. They use it as drills and such. They're so freaking cool though, it gets you powered up!!
Loved this video, guys! Hello from Florida! Today is Super Bowl Sunday!
See the: XB-35 Flying Wing and XB-36 Film Clips, When one of these aircraft were making their approach the craft disappeared from radar. They thought the plane went down crashed. Then it appeared in visual range and landed. They knew the plane already had flight control issues but when the design fooled the radar it was shunted into a Black Project for further development.
Really cool but love to a few with allied planes like a couple of tornados in the mix. And don’t even get me started with Spitfires Mustangs......YEAH!!!!!
