When you are standing on the ground and an aircraft flyover passes overhead...you literally feel it from your feet to the top of your head... It is an amazing feeling... Very emotional...just like hearing our national anthem...❤️🇺🇸💝

Oh Yeah. I live in Corpus Christi, Texas and we have the Wings Over South Texas air show every year either at Naval Air Station Corpus Christi or at NAS Kingsville. When they fly from Corpus NAS the Blue Angels will fly very very low over my house as I live very close to Corpus Christi Bay where the show is. But the thing is they'll practice a day or two before the air show and you'll never know when exactly so you can be out walking your dog on a nice sunny day then out of nowhere these powerful fighter jets come out of nowhere and even though they're not allowed to hit the afterburner until they're back over water they're loud. And there's a lot of vibration. The walls of your house can vibrate enough for pictures to fall off of the walls. That didn't even happen in my house even during Hurricane Harvey!!

@@madhatter909 One of the things that makes fighter jets so deadly on the ground is that for whatever reason you really don't hear them coming. And once they're on top of you it's way too late to run for shelter or cover. The first time I saw the Blue Angels it really struck me that if they were targeting you then you'd be dead before you even realized how close they really were if you had your back turned to them. The whole thing with the afterburners really is an experience but what's alway struck me is how close they can get before you hear them and then how loud the planes actually are.

Pilots are required to maintain flight hours for training qualification purposes . I live under the fight path between 4 base airports housing training programs so I have flyovers pretty much every weekend. The airspace above my house frees up from commercial traffic after 10 PM so at night I can walk outside and watch aggressor squadrons and defenders practice their techniques prior to deployments

Welcome home

I actually flew right seat in a B-17 during a race at Indianapolis several years ago. We had four P-51 Mustangs escorting us. Truly the thrill and honor of a lifetime.

I've seen F16s, F15s, B1s, B2s, a B17, Chinooks, Blackhawks, Ospreys, and probably others I can't remember, but the most memorable and exciting was a B52 that got real low and cast its shadow over the entire stadium. The sound (and feel) of the engines is like nothing else.

I didn’t know that…thank you for the info, I’m going to look that up

I live in a small town with a famous rodeo. I play in the mounted band that goes around the arena and plays marching band music before the show. We're just riding out of the arena before the National Anthem and in a huge hurry to get off our horses before the jets fly over. Horses aren't impressed, generally. The sound vibrates through you, and they seem almost low enough to touch. It's chilling and fills me with pride. I feel protected and proud.

The best flyover I have ever witnessed in person came on September 11, 2021 at the BYU-Utah college football rivalry game played at LaVell Edwards Stadium in Provo, Utah. Two fighter jets came down from Hill Air Force Base, north of Salt Lake City, and passed over the stadium right at the end of the national anthem. Both jets opened up their after-burners directly over the field, literally shaking the sold-out 64,000-seat stadium. The crowd's reaction was loud and passionate. The usual rancor between the rival fans of BYU and Utah disappeared that night. We were all Americans, and, those of us old enough to remember, were reminded of how we Americans put our differences aside and were united after the terror attacks of September 11, 2001. BYU won 26 to 17 in an extremely loud, fun atmosphere that night. Utah went on to win the PAC 12 conference championship.

There is another flyover tradition, quite moving. It is at the memorial service of a national hero. Jets fly the missing man formation, where one peals away from the formation and fly upward and out of sight. See Taps and the Missing Man Formation Flyover.

It's an honor to perform the military barrel honors, and it adds a bit extra with a fly over. There would be so many times I wanted to shed a tear but, you have to hold in your emotions. It's a emotional time for everyone.

I love flyovers. As well as air show's. The one that got me when I was younger was the Olympics with the guy flying in on a jetpack. Thanks for that. Honestly

We do love our football and weapons

I remember sitting in the nose bleeds as a kid for an auburn game and was kinda bummed out bc they weren’t great seats. But all of a sudden a b-2 bomber flew over what felt like 1 inch above my head and it made my whole week. Fly overs are awesome

One of the best things about American sports, by a mile. I've been witness to many flyovers at college football games and even at baseball games. The best ones are when they send the fighter jets over at full speed with their afterburners on at night! I remember seeing a Navy F/A-18 Hornet flyover at the National Championship game in Miami between Oklahoma and the University of Southern California. I remember those jets screaming over the stadium at low altitude with their afterburners lit up, and oh my God. Lol. Powerful. Nothing comparable in European sports.

American power, American tradition from sea to shining sea,...... Glad you both enjoyed this, and respected it. It means an awful lot to our people. Thank you, 🇺🇲🇺🇦 Glory to God, Victory for Ukraine, Rise Free Nations!

You have not lived until you have felt your very soul vibrating from a flyover. I was once privy to an impromptu flyover. I used to be an amateur sports official and one Friday afternoon was working a baseball game in a local town. The baseball field, unbeknownst to me, was in the direct flight path for the small, local airfield. I heard them before I saw them. Two bombers from WW2 were coming in for a landing at the local airfield. One was a B-17 and the other was a B-24. When they flew over the game stopped and those not already standing, stood up. The players, who were 12 years of age, just stood there looking up with their mouths agape. You could hear a pin drop. I was a few feet away from the shortstop and he his only response was "Holy sh*t!". These bombers were on final approach and no more than 100-200 feet off the ground. You could see the tail numbers and the nose art. Best flyover EVER! When I got home I fired up my 56k baud modem (it was a LONG time ago) and found out that the two planes were on a tour of the West coast and would be on display for the weekend at the local airfield. I, of course, went to take a look at them and the fans were allowed to crawl EVERYWHERE on board both aircraft. I'm a bit taller and heavier than the average human and I can attest that there is no wiggle room aboard those aircraft. They still are the Greatest Generation.

Always gets me crying😢❤️. So emotional and beautiful!

I was stationed at a Marine Air Wing in Japan & San Diego. We were responsible for a couple of the flyovers for San Diego Chargers games.

I’ve told this story on another reaction to this video, may have even been yours from a couple years ago, but I used to live just outside of Charlotte, North Carolina and when they would have the races at Charlotte Motor Speedway we would see the jets go over on TV and then a few seconds later our house would start shaking and they’d go right over our house. That was honestly one of my favorite parts of living there

Very nice! Been waiting for you two to do this one! You guys aren't the only ones who got 'grabbed' by this ... there's a New Zealander gal who watched this who commented that it gave her goose-bumps at different times during it! She too wished that this was a regular thing before games, *especially* ones that were big/important! And there's a family of NZ-ers who reacted similarly! P.S. - 'bonfireman' pointed out that now that London has NFL games, you should see flyovers there; and pointed out that you could have *two* flyovers - one at the end of each anthem! That'd be *majorly* awesome!

Many of these flying squads pass over in the "missing man" formation, the ones with four that look like it should be five flyers. That honors those who are no longer with them.

Can say I went to a couple football games and I love when they do this it’s literally like if you don’t have it happen it doesn’t feel right

I live across the street from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway race track,and I have to say the flyover is my favorite part. They flyover my house.Especially when the Stealth Bomber flies over because you don't hear until it's right there. It's awesome!!

Seeing The Missing Man Formation fly over when talking about Giants just after 9/11 brought tears to my eyes.

It is bleeping AWESOME.

I was working a job one year when the Blue Angles to base for week at an airport about 2 mls in a shallow basin below us. For five days, morning and afternoon, we were entertained as they practiced their routines. This was in the 90s, it never gets old.

I was shopping at the local garden center (centre) and these jets kept flying around, four loudly in formation. Some of the patrons were getting concerned the third pass around. One lady said "is it 9/11 or something?". It was November. The people were very concerned the fourth time around with lots of noise. I recognized them as small, trainer jets and not battle fighters. I decided to say loudly "they're just circling for the NC State football game...it's Military Appreciation Day". They all nodded and simmered down. Without that context it was a very strange thing in such a suburban setting.

The flyover path for the University of Notre Dame is over my house. They are so moving you have to be there to fully experience it. I almost always burst into tears and scream my head off. I can't help it. It is so moving I can't explain it.

I’m sure it’s been mentioned, but do you know the reason for the offset formation in most of the multi-jet flyovers? It’s called the “missing man” formation and is meant to signify the pilots and soldiers lost in combat, with a missing “man” to complete the formation.

College football games have flyovers as well! They don’t have them at every game but I know they do it at least once or twice every season. And, at Mississippi State University (I would guess that other universities might do this as well), we have a separate “event”, where paratroopers jump out of a plane and land on the 50 yard line! That is very impressive as well. There are two military bases within about 100 miles of Mississippi State. All of those events are so wonderful!

I was at a graduation ceremony at the Air force Academy in Colorado Springs. It was not a sporting event but it always has the Thunderbirds flyover. The startling thing is in a bowl shaped stadium you don't get a lot of forewarning. Your heart jumps into your throat.

That big black bomber is the B-2 Spirit. It can take off in North Dakota and put 32,000 pounds of smart bombs (or a large nuclear gravity bomb) anywhere on the planet in less than 19 hours, then fly all the way back. Non-stop (It re-fuels midair). Oh, and it's also called a "stealth-bomber" because it has the same radar cross-section as a bumblebee. I'd say it's only natural to be a bit intimidated by it.

In 2013, I happened to be at a Kansas City Chiefs game when they broke the record for the largest flyover with 49 "light aircraft," it was insane!

The hair on your arms and neck stand straight up!!!

They have it before the Boston marathon as well

I live in a town with an air Force base and every summer we have an air show which usually features the blue angels or thunderbirds plus my home is in line with the airport so there making their return right over my house lol so I guess I take it all for granted after 40 years of it lol

Thank you for this. Made me cry.

I grew up under the USAF Thunderbirds- where they used to practice. It was completely normal for us to pause and resume conversations as they’d flyover. Every day, unless they were on tour.

I have personally experienced two flyovers. One was in hs. Four crop dusters came over and did the last man salute for a kid passing. Second one was in college. Two Blackhawks and one modified Chinook did a flyover for our homecoming

My favorite flyover is when the jets fly down Colorado Blvd in Pasadena CA, at the start of the News a years Day Rose Parade.

The best one I saw was a B1 Bomber that flew very low over the Ballpark. It was like an alien invasion.

We are glad you are our Allies together ! ! !

You two definitely have to look up the F14 Tomcat flyover, you won’t get that kinda power anywhere else. It’s short and sweet so maybe on your own time, but I’m sure you’ll love it. Also there are about three to four videos of it on KZread so look at them all.

Awesome!!! Thank you

They make it look easy but you may have noticed the planning session for Chicago where the officer calls out Lake Pointe Tower on the city map. The little squatty thing on the upper right is a 70 story tower. So, yeah. Precision required.

Hi James and Millie, yes this is a really great video. This video about NFL pre game flyovers is one of my favorite videos on KZread because I love NFL and I've military jets and all things military! Great reaction!

In our area, they also do flyovers for high school and college games and events.

Just imagine, you’re going to a game, not expecting this whatsoever and then you hear it. The roar of jet engines off in the distance. The roar becomes louder and the air seems to shake, then without warning, you hear the iconic scream of jets flying overhead. The sound is intense and the majesty of it is incredible shaking your whole body with the roar of angels soaring above.

I live near Atlanta Motor Speedway, and whenever there's a Nascar race, there's a flyover. The first one I experienced scared the crap out of me. The windows rattled, and the walls vibrated. The sound just got louder and louder. I thought it was an earthquake. I ran outside to see jets flying over my house. Amazing. Scared me the first time, but now I look forward to it.

I live 5 blocks from a college stadium ,the one with the blue turf Boise State University,Go Bronco's!! There are a few fly over per season. It's cool!

The flyover from the buckeye Michigan game flew over our apartment... Then we lost. But it was amazing.

My college is near an Air National Guard base, and we see F-16 flying over all the time. They did a fly over the weekend before the academic year started! Not nearly as low as they fly over a stadium, but much lower than they normally fly going back to base.

Here in the U.S. the fly over also takes place at MLB games and other sports there are truly exciting to see

gets me emotional every time

Seen my share of flyovers at football games, baseball games and parades, and as a veteran, it always gets me choked up. Absolutely love them.

Also a lot of flyovers in motor sports/racing events!!! 😃

Sitting in my place one day, I heard an unusual and unexpected sound drawing near, So I got up and went outside to see and what I saw was mind blowing!!… 4 US Military Osprey’s flying overhead..an experience I’ll never forget

The Bomber is a stealth plane.

I used to visit my grandmother and grandfather all the time at *"Lake Point Tower"* in Chicago. When it was completed it was the tallest residential building in the world! But to this day it's also still the shortest building in the world with 70 floors. However again it's still the only skyscraper and tallest building east of Lake Shore Drive in Chicago. The building stands 645 ft. tall. To put that into context, the Washington Monument is 555 ft. tall and the St. Louis Gateway Arch is 630 ft. tall. My grandparents had a birds-eye view of Navy Pier. And people in the building could always see the fly-bys at Soldier Field as the planes were heading right at you on the south side of the building..And if you're on the upper floors, the planes are often flying below you. LOL! 😅

I never was at a flyover for a football game; the flyover I experienced was in the middle of a city near where I grew up. We were on our way to play in one of our high school basketball games and the city where we were playing has one of the largest military aircraft manufacturers in the country. They we’re running test flights over the city. There’s actually a landmark downtown that is used as a navigation point for pilots, the test pilots and commercial pilots.

When you see 4 fighters flying, it's called the four finger or missing man formation. The missing man is to honor a fallen pilot. It's one plane missing from a V formation, that's the fallen pilot.

I live in CO, the Air Force Academy has some amazing flyovers. When the bombers come over the entire ground shakes, car alarms go off, etc it gives you chills while pumping you up at the same time.

Hey now that the NFL is playing in London you should have a flyover before the games there that'd be awesome..after both anthems

My absolute favorite flyover was at the 2022 Nascar Bristol Night race. I was sitting high up in the stands. The sun has just set. The Smokey Mountains in the background and this big old prop plane came flying low over the stadium right at me and banked a hard left at the last second and there were fireworks

The US air Force unveiled the new B21 last week

Some of those flyovers are from Air National guard bases who don't have a large variety of aircraft on hand. I live near an airport, I experience flyovers all the time

When i was pretty young i went to the Indy 500, and they had a stealth bomber fly by. To this day I remember the sound snd how it made me feel. Its an awesome feeling.

They do it at MLB games too!😉

RAF absolutely needs to start doing flyovers to the many great sports leagues of the UK!

While fishing in a boat on the Buffalo River, a military jet came so close over the river, I could see the pilot's face. Yes, it did scare the hell out of me! It seemed to come from out of nowhere

If you want to see something that will blow your mind watch the falcon heavy teslaunch where they put the Tesla in orbit it's mind-blowing the kind of technology they have especially when they land the two side boosters right side by side it looks like something I used to see in science fiction movies when I was a kid

Yup, they do baseball as well.

Always love that Part

The coolest flyover I have ever seen was in the late 80s before they unveiled the B-2 bomber . Is was about 2 or 3 in the morning, I was camping with some friends by a huge army base in central Texas. When 4 F-16 fighter jets flew over in a diamond formation very low. When I say low I mean about a1000 feet. Their noses were pointing up at an unbelievable angle, going as slow as they could. They were standing on the throttle and barely flying . No moon out and not a cloud in the sky, the were stars everywhere. Now right in the middle of the diamond formation was a huge B-2 bomber. I had no idea what it was, it looked like a space ship from a sci-fi movie. It had the landing gear down and , the Bombay doors were open you could see up inside everything. It was painted white inside, which was good cause I was about to freak right out. Seeing the white paint I said well, what ever it is it's ours.

I live in neighborhood with a football stadium last week there was a fly over last week and my whole apartment shook for a second! Lol everyone was posting on social media trying to figure out what’s going on 😂

You guys should do the air show or the blue angels it will blow your mind

I live near an airforce base and I see jets everyday. I've seen the bomber a few times. It still amazes me everytime. The sonic booms scare me though.

A formation of jets, flying low and in tight formation over a packed football stadium, as the last note of the Star-spangled Banner rings out, is an incredible experience! The sound of the jets is deafening thunder, and the ground literally shakes under your feet!! 🇺🇸

Since you two are getting back into sports reactions, it might be a good time to do some baseball ones. Britain is in the World Baseball Classic (baseball’s World Cup) which is coming up in February & March, so it’s as good a time to get into the sport as any. They’re obviously long shots to get out of the group stage (but they do have a couple MLB players, with Jazz Chisholm from the Miami Marlins as their best player), but it could still be fun to follow the UK team when it’s on (it’s a real role reversal of soccer, with the US, the Dominican Republic, & Japan as the favorites this year, while the Netherlands is usually the only European nation that makes a deep run)

Check out the Arrowhead Stadium flyover of 49 homemade Van's RV aircraft of October 13, 2013, private pilots streaming pink smoke in honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Same concept as the military flyovers done at the same time - at the end of the National Anthem.

I saw a stealth in person one time, it flew over my house on September 12, 2001.

In the briefing, one of the pilots mentions Zulu time. This is the military's way of saying GMT or UTC. Think of the bases around the world each in its own time zone. If you said the time in your time zone others would have to find out what the offset is from your time. Using Zulu everyone knows his own time zone and it is a simple thing to know what the offset from you to GMT is.

If you get a chance, find a "Missing Man" formation flyover. When you see it, you understand.

You can't really see or hear the reaction of the crowd in this film. EVERYONE goes nuts cheering. It's my favorite part of every game! I do have to say, I don't live near a military base, but once when a serving President of the US was visiting my town, several (like 5) Apache helicopters flew over my home, low and slow. I had not heard the President was in town and it was scary. The motorcade was on the highway a few blocks south of my house, and they were providing air cover. We are out in the sticks, so the two hospitals right by our house have constant Life Flight helicopters to get critical people into the main medical facilities, so I'm used to helicopters all the time, but this was really different. It was the scary sound from the movies. The kids had a baseball game 2 hours later and all of us moms were saying, what was that? Those were Apache helicopters. Everyone said they had gone outside to watch them and see what was going on. We all thought we were under attack or something. The noise and reverberation is incredible.

As the son of a 31 year Navy veteran, and a veteran myself, I grew up around several Naval Air Stations, so I got to see a wide variety of aircraft doing flight ops. That being said, there's still nothing quite like a flyover. There's just something special about it. For a slightly different take, but more in just entertainment, check out this video made by some Navy personnel aboard the USS Dwight D Eisenhower (CVN-69). These are "shooters", or catapult shooters. They are the officers that give the final all-clear signal for an aircraft to be launched from the aircraft carrier. It's just a group of guys having a lot of fun with their job. kzread.info/dash/bejne/eXqlztl6h9izhMo.html

The type of aircraft depends on where you are, it is based on the closest Air Force Base. ( for college at least)

You should check out when the military parachute into the stadium with the American flag at the end of the national anthem

2 USA flyovers at the INDY 500 yesterday……F-16 Vipers left everyone emotional. “The Largest Spectator Event in the World” Surprised you didn’t know approx 300k-1Million People Visit Indy 500 every Year and always has the best Flyovers/parties

They are listed as "training flights". Those jets will rock your bones. So loud & so close.

the budget is part of the flight hours training which they would still have to do regardless, plus they get to advertise the airforce to a large audience.

There's a joke that the last line of the national anthem should be "play ball!" Lol

You should also watch the ones with the eagle flying over.

The world is and always has been a dangerous place. As humans it's natural to be on guard. To me, the fly over is a reassurance that someone, military, police, firefighters, emergency medical personnel WILL be there if something goes wrong.

thank you, especially since today is PEARL HARBOR DAY (not yelling)
