Got this email from Army Seawolf pilot Joff Filion:
KC Chiefs Flyover
I don't know who the Chief's were playing, but it would have
been great if it had been the 49ers - and Kaeperknick had been on the field.
As you know, Obama cuts have eliminated the military flyovers
at large events. Well, there's a group of guys in Kansas City
who do some formation flying, in their own planes, and decided
they'd volunteer to pick up the slack. They invited a couple of
other groups to join them and before they knew it they had 48
guys with their own airplanes signing up to join in. If they
had more time, they probably would have gotten an even larger
group as people kept joining and a 49th was added near the event.
*One additional feature of the flyover was the use of pink smoke
for cancer awareness.*
The folks from the Guinness Book were there and are expected to
confirm it as the largest formation flight ever. And to top it
off the crowd later set the record for the loudest gathering at
a football stadium. Be sure your speakers are turned up... best
if watch at 'full screen.
