I'll be a little nicer in the replies here but the US has a lot of people and a lot of them go to college/university and a lot of them pay to watch their school play sports because they live on campus and would rather cheer on their school as there's a lot of family ties and pride in going to college here in the states. Compare it to going to your local soccer teams games and being a diehard fan, sure you might still like a big premier league team but you'll live and die by your local team more than anything.

Speaking as someone who played in a college band, the directors know when the flyover will happen down to the second (Air Force pilots are pretty good at being where they need to be when they need to be there), so they can stretch or shorten phrases if they need to in order to get the timing down. It still takes a lot of work to make sure everyone is synchronized like that, though. Our director really emphasized that we needed to be watching him and following his direction very closely. :)

Lou Holz used to say that the Air Force Academy had the greatest home-field advantage in the NCAA because of flyovers. He would spend the entire pre-game trying to get his teams ready to play and then they’d all gawk at the jets. It takes a TON of coordination to get this right and like all things aviation, the USAF does it right more than any other. They are really, really focused on split-second timing and every USAF general is watching not only to see if they are exactly on-time, but if their four-ship formation is perfect. You’ll always hear them saying “#3 is late” or something like that. If the formation is perfect they usually say nothing, just smile at one another knowingly-knowing the pilots’ squadron and wing commanders will get major kudos because their pilots nailed it. And mistakes are never forgotten. They do major after-action reviews and do a ton of weather (big issue!), pressure, and waypoint analysis to get this right. Ground controllers, practice, rehearsals, the band conductor; all part of a giant team effort. But the lead aircraft is the lead-everything depends on that pilot. Even very small mistakes are noticed and debriefed. Timing, as they say, is everything in aviation.

The BBMF Merlin engines are restored and refurbished by the US car and airplane racing icon Jack Roush in Michigan. The RAF has great aviators and leadership but the government’s defense budgets have essentially reduced the RAF to a shadow of its former self. The US often intercepts Russian bombers heading for the British Isles because the RAF can’t maintain an interceptor force.

@@studuerson2548 It’s all a matter of risk when it comes to aerobatic teams. Some take more, some less. How tight is a matter of risk. But sticking a standard, safe distance four-ship is still very hard. In my view although it’s exciting, too much risk in aerobatic performance groups is not doing a service to the profession, the audience, or the sponsor organization. The risks taken always bears out in accident numbers. FWIW, if you want to see some serious flight discipline in aerobatic performances, see the Korean Black Eagles. Phenomenal. My point, however, was about the discipline and professionalism of regular (not demonstration) flying units in flyovers. That discipline, the general attention to detail in flight operations, translates to superior wartime performance as well.

It is not unheard of to have the director wearing an earpiece with the music and a click track with audibles in it. He is listening to a countdown, as it were, and he moves his arms in precision to that countdown, while the pilots pass navigation markers at their exact moments. One soundtrack and two finely tuned events that culminate in the perfect flyover. These events don't happen by accident.

For all the people who are commenting but have never been in a marching band before, or directed a band, here's how it actually works. The flyover people practice weeks ahead of time, usually whenever they are close. For example, Blue Angels homecoming about 50 miles away was just finishing and all of a sudden you notice that the flyovers start practicing the day or two after that. They set targets, practice timing and set speeds in order to reach a certain point at a certain time. We (the band) then time our pregame, from getting on the field to exiting, to give to the stadium so that they can decide what times everything needs to happen. Football is a show. For example, the UF game said to start at 7:30, but we knew the week before that kickoff was actually set to 7:44. This then allows us to say "Ok, it takes us 2 minutes to do our come on cadence, X seconds to do fanfare / fightsong" and then we have a window where we can realistically start pregame. It takes everyone, though, to understand and feel the tempos. Say we have a flyover and a 3 minute long song is conducted 5% faster. That gives us 9 seconds of extra time that we have to compensate for. This is where the conductor comes into play, especially on the star spangled banner. He can speed up, or slow down as needed so that way we hit the last chord at the second that we know the planes are flying over. This is harder than you think because the goal is to make the Star Spangled Banner musical, dramatic, and make sense. No, the pilots aren't listening to the band, or even being told to speed up or slow down. They go X knots to hit the stadium at X time. This can go wrong, for example, at our Veteran's Day ceremony one group took a little longer than was timed for. As a result, the flyover happened almost 45 seconds before the anthem was over. That's in the middle of the anthem. It happens. What I'm trying to say is, don't say the conductor is doing nothing, that's dumb. He's timing us to match with the fighter jets which are essentially a stationary time.

I teach colorguard at a college in Colorado, and I’ve never seen us pull off the timing of the flyover. Sometimes they fly after the song has ended, sometimes they’re so late we have to start the next song in order to make sure kickoff still happens on time (especially if it’s being televised). No idea if that an us issue or a them issue, or if they’re using Air Force Academy students to do it so there’s some error as they’re learning? Either way, you can see the little fist pump the conductor does in celebration after the song ends, because he’s just trying to hit his marks and is blind to what the planes are doing until they’re overhead. Mad respect for being able to pull that off.

Hey! I’m in this band, so I have a little BTS information. We follow the conductors cue, and we expect the flyover. They are promised a specific second, but it is rare that they meet it. Our directors try their hardest to make it lineup, but if the pilots go too late or too early (for reasons unbeknownst to us), then it doesn’t line up (naturally). You can’t hear them coming, since light is faster than sound (and especially because there is already a huge delay between us playing, the director conducting, the audience hearing the band, the visual sight of the plane, and the sound afterward that follows). The pilot also can’t listen because of reasons aforementioned. Hope this sheds some light!

Compare it to going to your local soccer teams games and being a diehard fan, sure you might still like a big premier league team but you'll live and die by your local team more than anything.

Speaking as someone who played in a college band, the directors know when the flyover will happen down to the second (Air Force pilots are pretty good at being where they need to be when they need to be there), so they can stretch or shorten phrases if they need to in order to get the timing down. It still takes a lot of work to make sure everyone is synchronized like that, though. Our director really emphasized that we needed to be watching him and following his direction very closely. :)

Lou Holz used to say that the Air Force Academy had the greatest home-field advantage in the NCAA because of flyovers. He would spend the entire pre-game trying to get his teams ready to play and then they’d all gawk at the jets. It takes a TON of coordination to get this right and like all things aviation, the USAF does it right more than any other. They are really, really focused on split-second timing and every USAF general is watching not only to see if they are exactly on-time, but if their four-ship formation is perfect. You’ll always hear them saying “#3 is late” or something like that. If the formation is perfect they usually say nothing, just smile at one another knowingly-knowing the pilots’ squadron and wing commanders will get major kudos because their pilots nailed it. And mistakes are never forgotten. They do major after-action reviews and do a ton of weather (big issue!), pressure, and waypoint analysis to get this right. Ground controllers, practice, rehearsals, the band conductor; all part of a giant team effort. But the lead aircraft is the lead-everything depends on that pilot. Even very small mistakes are noticed and debriefed. Timing, as they say, is everything in aviation.

The BBMF Merlin engines are restored and refurbished by the US car and airplane racing icon Jack Roush in Michigan. The RAF has great aviators and leadership but the government’s defense budgets have essentially reduced the RAF to a shadow of its former self. The US often intercepts Russian bombers heading for the British Isles because the RAF can’t maintain an interceptor force.

@@studuerson2548 It’s all a matter of risk when it comes to aerobatic teams. Some take more, some less. How tight is a matter of risk. But sticking a standard, safe distance four-ship is still very hard. In my view although it’s exciting, too much risk in aerobatic performance groups is not doing a service to the profession, the audience, or the sponsor organization. The risks taken always bears out in accident numbers. FWIW, if you want to see some serious flight discipline in aerobatic performances, see the Korean Black Eagles. Phenomenal. My point, however, was about the discipline and professionalism of regular (not demonstration) flying units in flyovers. That discipline, the general attention to detail in flight operations, translates to superior wartime performance as well.
It is not unheard of to have the director wearing an earpiece with the music and a click track with audibles in it. He is listening to a countdown, as it were, and he moves his arms in precision to that countdown, while the pilots pass navigation markers at their exact moments. One soundtrack and two finely tuned events that culminate in the perfect flyover. These events don't happen by accident.

For all the people who are commenting but have never been in a marching band before, or directed a band, here's how it actually works. The flyover people practice weeks ahead of time, usually whenever they are close. For example, Blue Angels homecoming about 50 miles away was just finishing and all of a sudden you notice that the flyovers start practicing the day or two after that. They set targets, practice timing and set speeds in order to reach a certain point at a certain time. We (the band) then time our pregame, from getting on the field to exiting, to give to the stadium so that they can decide what times everything needs to happen. Football is a show. For example, the UF game said to start at 7:30, but we knew the week before that kickoff was actually set to 7:44. This then allows us to say "Ok, it takes us 2 minutes to do our come on cadence, X seconds to do fanfare / fightsong" and then we have a window where we can realistically start pregame. It takes everyone, though, to understand and feel the tempos. Say we have a flyover and a 3 minute long song is conducted 5% faster. That gives us 9 seconds of extra time that we have to compensate for. This is where the conductor comes into play, especially on the star spangled banner. He can speed up, or slow down as needed so that way we hit the last chord at the second that we know the planes are flying over. This is harder than you think because the goal is to make the Star Spangled Banner musical, dramatic, and make sense. No, the pilots aren't listening to the band, or even being told to speed up or slow down. They go X knots to hit the stadium at X time. This can go wrong, for example, at our Veteran's Day ceremony one group took a little longer than was timed for. As a result, the flyover happened almost 45 seconds before the anthem was over. That's in the middle of the anthem. It happens. What I'm trying to say is, don't say the conductor is doing nothing, that's dumb. He's timing us to match with the fighter jets which are essentially a stationary time.

This guy conducting is as badass as this moment
0:28 the fist pump… ”nailed it!” 😂
I teach colorguard at a college in Colorado, and I’ve never seen us pull off the timing of the flyover. Sometimes they fly after the song has ended, sometimes they’re so late we have to start the next song in order to make sure kickoff still happens on time (especially if it’s being televised). No idea if that an us issue or a them issue, or if they’re using Air Force Academy students to do it so there’s some error as they’re learning? Either way, you can see the little fist pump the conductor does in celebration after the song ends, because he’s just trying to hit his marks and is blind to what the planes are doing until they’re overhead. Mad respect for being able to pull that off.
These flyovers are scheduled missions...that is why the timing is spot on...

Hey! I’m in this band, so I have a little BTS information. We follow the conductors cue, and we expect the flyover. They are promised a specific second, but it is rare that they meet it. Our directors try their hardest to make it lineup, but if the pilots go too late or too early (for reasons unbeknownst to us), then it doesn’t line up (naturally). You can’t hear them coming, since light is faster than sound (and especially because there is already a huge delay between us playing, the director conducting, the audience hearing the band, the visual sight of the plane, and the sound afterward that follows). The pilot also can’t listen because of reasons aforementioned. Hope this sheds some light!

I have marched on that field back in the 80s. It was a special feeling doing that. Even when I was an OSU fan. But that was a moment I will never forget.

And you would be absolutely correct! Awesome man and we're proud and honored to have him!
Don’t ever stop these flyovers!👍👍👍
I just love a good fly by
speaking to a vet who organized flyovers, is you wanted them to fly over at 11:17 and 10 seconds, you could set your watch. training and determination result in expected results.
Anytime near the end of the anthem is perfect timing.
The Marching Chiefs in Doak Campbell is unmatched 🍢
Even I put away my cynicism for 5 minutes during a flyover. Get all teary eyed and shit 😂 I love it.
That’s like every time.
Gives me goosebumps every time I watch it.
chills y'all. Really breathtaking! Thank you for that. Awesome.
❤🇺🇸 GOD BLESS AMERICA 🇺🇸❤
That gave me the chills. 👏🇺🇸❣️
A lot of that was on the conductor. He knew it was coming if you watch him, saw the jets cresting the score board, and wrapped the song.
gives me the chills - truly, goosebumps when I see and hear these
Our national anthem gives me chills every time. Love this country 🇺🇸
It's called Time On Target and it's a crucial skill for pilots to practice. That's one of the reasons they agree to do flyovers, it's excellent training for them. Plus it's just cool.
Chills. Awesome flyover, awesome band, awesome director.
That will put steel in your spine and tears in your eyes.
Chiefs are the best band in college football… Go ‘Noles and God bless America!

I'm not even a fan but TSU's won a Grammy, saw them playing a couple weeks back and they were awesome.
I'm in the British military, I can only dream of this sort of patriotism. It's rough over here.

It should have been better this year than other recent years. A good friend of mine is a retired planning and training officer from the British Army and he reports that the general public highly approves of the work the Army is doing for the Ukrainians. I hope that all citizens of the UK take the time to realize the excellent job the British Army and all of the UK military are doing to support Ukraine right now. I do, but I'm a US Navy veteran and a historian so I'm more aware of things than most citizens.

If witnessing a flyover at a must win game in a 100k+ seat homefield stadium isn't on your bucket list, it should be.

Literally like every flyover I have ever seen at any game ever.

This guy: “Simpsons did it!!!!”
Don’t forget the ground controller who feeds info to the pilots. With things like this you don’t bet your flyover on timing alone.
I'm not even American and I want to start chanting "USA, USA, USA!!!"😂😂😂😂
I get a tear in my eye every time I see a flyover in person. I’m proud to be an American
Could not have planned that any better!..🇺🇸MAGAGA BABY

I’d love to witness one of those in person!

Looked like a pretty typical flyover, but still awesome to see.
Its all about the band starting and finishing at the exact time they are meant to. The fighters can hit the mark from there.

No, it goes to the pockets of the university staff. The flyovers are free.
Very nicely coordinated.
God Bless you Whitney, we all miss you and your Angelic Voice! For anyone who doesn’t realise it (as I’m not seeing any comments about it) the ending to this instrumental rendition of the Star Spangled Banner was a clear tribute to Whitney Houston’s 1991 Super Bowl Performance with the elongated high note on “Free” and the F-16 fly over immediately following the performance.
Chills everytime
Sent chills.
Both the pilots and the band absolutely nailed the TOT. I guess its easier for a band to hit the mark than some singer who takes 45 seconds to finish 'Oooooooooooo saaaaaaaaaay, can you seeeeeeee?'
It's almost as if they work with flight crew/team and band to time the flyovers at just the right time.
I dunno what to not believe more. The size of the stadium. Or the fact they get Planes to fly overheard during chants.
Given how military air strikes often have to exact to the minute or less, making sure they fly over the stadium at the right time is an excellent way to train our pilots.
Wow! This gave me goosebumps
If that don't give you chills....
4 f-16s with modern camo in gray livery.
Just about every flyover is this perfect…
Bring a tear to a grown man’s eye
That’s a great band leader.
Damn, those jets gave me goosebumps
FSU band thinks of stuff like this ahead of time.
JUST FANTASTIC
