I live in Colorado Springs which is the headquarters of the U.S. Air Force and the Air Force academy's football games have had excess of 17 flyovers in one game, with multiple 27 billion dollar extremely rare jets and bombers as well as one time a 54 aircraft flyover. A triangle F-15 formation once flew in so low that it blew all the windows out of the observation decks and all the windows in the stadium. The sheer power of it shakes through your core and there is no feeling like it in the world. I have also been lucky enough to be on the taxiway inside a plane next to a runway where F-22's, F-35's, F-16, and F-15's did max throttle takeoffs into flips and barrel rolls.

(The Military also made my 6 yr old son a Honorary Helicopter Pilot, with his flight wings, fight suit, name tag, America Flag on the sleeve along with a plack with a helicopter his name stating he was a Honorary Military Pilot, of that Military Division)..So when he died at the age of 6yrs 3mons old...When those helicopter pilots, crew chiefs and others involved in my son's life found out of his death... those Military personnel members who became close friends of my little boy over time, some how got permission from the military to be either his Pallbearers, and some of others did a very wonderful thing by doing a Missing Man Flyover at Cemetery where my son body was being laid to rest..it was a surprise to us all because we weren't expecting the flyover..as the helicopters flew over a soldier in the background started playing Taps.... THERE WAS NOT A DRY EYE ANY WHERE.... To this day Everytime I see a flyover..I remember the way I felt that sad day...I felt so much love from and for these men and women who were serving our NATION...but that day they were showing their love and respect towards My little 6yr boy, who they felt were one of them... It made me feel so proud... The day before my son's funeral, the commander asked to pin Master Pilots Wings on my son's body and Crew Chief's wings on my son's Snoopy Dog that was being buried with my so..(My son was never without his Snoopy Dog.. From my son's birth to his death, Snoopy was always with him)... One of the other pilots placed a St Christopher's and a St Michael's necklace around my son neck before his coffin was closed...I was told by the Commander that my son had earned his Master Wings, and that my son would need a Crew Chief to help he on his fight to heaven...Thus Snoopy became my son's Crew Chef... BUT: Long before the death of my son and what took place that day... I've always been VERY PROUD and RESPECTFUL towards those who SERVE and have SERVED, and have DIED in the USA Military for WE THE PEOPLE, OUR NATION, OUR RIGHTS AND OUR FREEDOM....and ALWAYS WILL But on that day those Men and Women who were there showing their love, honor, and respect, towards a little boy that they felt was one of them made me feel that much more respect for USA MILITARY AND THOSE THAT SERVE AND HAVE SERVED AND THOSE WHO HAVE DIED SERVING THEIR NATION...

Hi Courtney. Anyone who can experience that and not feel proud and patriotic is probably kneeling at that moment. I have been fortunate to see it more than once. Swell with pride each time. Quick story. My brother was living in Virginia Beach years ago when he was assigned to the amphibious base there and was a member of Seal Team 2. There was also a Naval Air Station in the area that made frequent fly overs of their neighborhood. I was spending a few weeks visiting and some other folks were visiting for a 3 day weekend as well. They constantly complained for a day and a half about the noise and wondered how my brother's family could stand it. Well during a fly over on day 2 when the complaining started again, my brother called to his son who was about 11 or 12 and said hey son what is that as he pointed skyward. Without hesitation my nephew looked up from his homework and said (matter-of-factly) "That's the sound of freedom Dad". Don't think I ever saw my brother as proud and there was not another complaint about the noise of the jets all weekend.

Go to an air show and watch the Blue Angels or Thunderbirds and you feel it in your chest a lot more.

Back in the day, when Myrtle Beach, SC still had an AFB, I was stationed there, (circa 1984 as a jet fuel jockey), and we had an air show featuring the USAF Thunderbirds. They are really quite something to see. You easily get caught up in the precision flying stunts and the information given by an announcer. Just when the he is telling you about the formation of the three jets you see, the fourth, that you hadn't seen for a few minutes streaks by out of nowhere just under the speed of sound--low enough to the ground to feel it shake, (well, that might have just been my knees), and you realize just how quickly you could have otherwise been terminated by something you never saw coming. It truly was one of the highlight of my AF career. The only thing to top it, by far: In '83 Hahn AFB, Germany, I was TDY from Incirlik AFB, Adana, Turkey and was so luck to have been granted an incentive ride in an F-16. I almost lost my lunch on the max climb. Hahn AFB was at the time the first USAFE (United States Armed Forces Europe) base to receive the F-16 Falcon and the first I'd ever been privileged to refuel.

Yeah those planes are close! I was in a college stadium near the top of the stands, and could feel heat from the jets as they went past. Not uncomfortable, but still present. As a US Navy veteran, I always get goosebumps when I experience a flyover; it reminds me of why served, and also of those I've lost.

[@vnigallahoir3523]

Some background info, the Flyovers are considered training time for pilots, so if they have the availability (with maintenance and ACTUAL training schedule they can't make every game) they will happily do a fly over. Last time I saw one I was working by the stadium on patrol as the national anthem played and out of nowhere two F-18's SCREAM over the packed stadium for the start of a baseball game. The thing that is never lost on me is feeling them in your chest. You feel this force pressing on your chest as they tear air to shreds and turn it into forward movement. It's amazing.

[@willisix2554]

Quick story for you, when I joined the Air Force, they sent us to Lackland AFB, well there's another Air Force Base right across the fence and one day a jet was taking off, I heard and I said wow that's a lot of noise, now I'm like about 5 foot 8 and his drill sergeant, senior master sergeant Hartman was about six 4, he walked over lean over me and said into my ear that noise? Airman, that's the sound of freedom, God Bless America, I'll never forget that man. GOD BLESS AMERICA. Oh i forgot to add, he had a really heavy Arkansas accent which made it even better

Fly overs happen maybe 1 or 2 games a year for most teams. Ive been at Ravens Stadium for a bunch. The one this year the helicopters cleared the lights by what seemed to be 20 feet and were going so slow it seemed like they were floating in the Stadium with the guys all waving at us. The planes are so loud and massive the video doesn't do it justice.

Yeah, the Stadium folks will know there is a fly over, as well as maybe the Team Management but very often that info doesn’t trickle down to the Coaches and players, especially the visiting team, and the teams are usually too focused on game planning, so as they said, many times it’s a surprise. I played D1 football on scholarship in the late 80’s and got to see many, many flyovers.

[@operator0]

Also, the airspace around the stadium will be restricted and other pilots will know about it. To be fair, the airspace around a stadium is already restricted when a game is happening, but there's even more of a restriction when a flyover is happening.

Just a little knowledge... There are 20,000,000 active duty military members from all countries on the planet; 1,000,000 of them are the American Active Duty Military. We have 1/20th of all active duty military members currently.... As of December 2019 there are 44 active aircraft carriers in the world, 11 of them belong to the United States, each capable of carrying around 80 fighter jets. The American aircraft carriers are the largest and the total deck space of the 11 American aircraft carriers is twice the size of the deck space of the 33 aircraft carriers from the other nations.(and the U.S. Navy also has 9 amphibious assault ships capable of each carrying 20 V/STOL fighter jets). America’s aircraft carriers are used to provide drinking water, hospital space, and power to cities in countries hit by hurricanes and cyclones during recovery and cleanup. The U.S. Air Force has 1,000 aircraft. The U.S. Army has 4,164 aircraft. The U.S. Coast Guard has 200 aircraft. The U.S. Marine Corps has 1,386 aircraft. The U.S. Navy has 2,301 aircraft.

I was stationed in Pensacola during the 90s. Pensacola is home to the Blue Angels and it becomes very annoying very quickly when you work third shift and the Blue Angels decide to practice while you are trying to sleep.

Chicago has an indoor arena that used to be the Chicago Stadium. Chicago Stadium held 2, or 3 records, for the loudest indoor national anthem celebration. The newer arena which used to be called the United Center, hold 2 or 3 as well. They make up 3, or 4, of the top 5. Hearing the national anthem in Chicago Stadium was one of the most incredible events of my life I think. It sounded as loud as a heavy rock concert. I had to scream to my buddy standing immediately to my left and he couldn't hear me. Seating in that stadium was incredibly close so he was plenty close enough. National anthem is the most celebrated, and honorable pre sports traditions America has ever had.

The plane you ask about at the 1:25 mark is the B2 Spirit (or Stealth) bomber. Virtually invisible on radar and carries a LOT of bombs. We only built 21 of them, one crashed and bout half of the rest are stationed at Whiteman AFB near Knob Noster Missouri (southeast of Kansas City). I live about 25 miles from the base and they fly over here several times a month. You'll get a lot of comments on it. Flyovers are also timed to go over EXACTLY as the National Anthem ends. You'll notice in the 3:45 mark, he's calling out the time, down to the second, that they intend to pass over the stadium and they don't miss it very often. And of course the pilots are laying it out, it's their lives that are on the line if someone makes a mistake.
