Blackhawks.

[Swanson10]

On the radio show tonight, JP said, weather depending, that there is going to be a flyover with Blackhawk helicopters. I, for one, am excited.

Did he say anything else worth while?

After the flyover, it will land near the stadium so people can go out and check it out. That's all i caught.

 

[jumbopackage]

Most boring flyover ever.

Yeah I prefer the V-22's or F-18's that tend to buzz my apartment...


Oh wait most people in Iowa don't see these things on a daily basis

I think they have real potential to compete with Detroit in the Central this year..... oh wait - this isn't about hockey???

Not to sidetrack, but they will win the central this year.

I think it'll be pretty cool. Better than not having anything fly over IMO

We're playing ARMY. Army doesn't have much to fly over the stadium, and I doubt driving an Abram tank to the 50 yard line would go over well


Probably gonna ***** if when we play Air Force it's just an F-16 fly over because it's the most local thing and fly overs generally are done as part of training missions, it's not like they usually fly these things half way across the country to ooh and ahhh you

The coolest flyovers I ever saw were the now retired F-14's flying supersonic off the Florida coast.

That'd be bad *** :yes:

Stealth was cool. It just flew over so slow and made a huge shadow.

I am paraphrasing, but he said something along the lines of, "MontyBurns, I had a great time last night. Call me."

F-117 or B-2? I'm gonna assume big shadow = B-2...

 

[herbicide]

Yep. Even the B-2 flyover was blah after seeing that.

At the ISU-Mizzou game two years ago they had a B-1 flyover, that was pretty neat, but there's a LOT of National Guard in Missouri. Think they had Blackhawks at KU a couple of years ago, as well.

My all-time favorite was last December 11, the Shuttle Carrier 747 made a detour from it's route from Fort Worth to Shreveport to circle around Houston with Endeavour on its back.

B-2.

I was rather amused driving home from the Alumni game watch for Iowa the other week, there were several planes on final approach to Andrews Air Force Base, including a rather large one.

Sure enough, it was a VC-25 (aka presidential 747, commonly called Air Force One). I drove right under it as it crossed the highway :yes:

I'm ****** I missed it here yesterday/today! Guess that's what I get for not keeping up with local news...
