Didn't a FedEx plane fly over either at the beginning or end of the Halftime?

The idea of a flyover was proposed to both teams.


Navy shot it down.

Flyovers are cool but why is it an opportunity wasted?

Waste of money. We know what planes are capable of, and what they sound like.

Didn't Real Sports do a thing on this?

Fly-overs are used as training missions, but I get your point. No big deal to me that we didn't have one.

Training and promotion. Those things aren't important, I guess.

Agree, no biggie on the flyover. We've had both an Air Force and a FedEx one already this year.

The one I'm referring to came in a little low & slow right over the stadium unlike all the others.

There were a few that flew overhead, but yeah there was one that was noticeably low. I live in C/Y with a good view of them 24/7 and I've seen them that low, but it seemed kind of obviously low and pretty much right overhead with a game going on.
