The FLYOVER: America's Greatest Pre-Game Tradition

So cool of the military top brass to allow this absolute solid gold content to be published for public consumption!!

[@PrimarchX]

Pail has to be one of naval aviation's top recruiters!

[@12345fowler]

I guess it's all good for them, P&R, publicity and all that jazz. They are always interested into that kind of stuff (Think how they participated in the Final Countdown, Top Gun etc.) but they sure won't let anybody (think Joe pilot) from the fleet do it. With Pail they seem to be in good hands.

I use to be a crew chief on a F-15 demo team. The crowd will never know all the hard work and the number of people it takes to make something like this happen.

[@roseanneroseannadanna9651]

For real... I buried my father (87) last year (US. Marine Aviator 1st and Army Aviator 2nd. Retired Army LTC.) I knowingly disobeyed my dads last orders to me to keep his funeral simple and short. I requested and He received a full military and a fly over (choppers as it was his main gig). I did not receive conformation of the fly over till that morning and when I did, I threw out all my plans and worked with the Captain in charge to have everything completed in 30 mins. Being former Army (Dad handed my my first orders to proceed to The 101st.. 13Bravo 155) I handled it with aplomb and managed to obey the keep it "Short" part. I sure miss him a lot!

[@jcheck6]

Congrats to being on the demo team. They just don't take anyone. They didn't have them in my day with the F-4.

You did a service and are still providing service. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, "You are fantastic at everything you do. Young men should strive to have a portion of your dedication. You're one hell of a recruiter and teacher." Not many people have the ability to teach or coach. Some men/women are the best players in the world, but they have no idea how to teach/coach what they do. God gave you a gift.🇺🇲

Holy Freaking Cow! That was spectacular!! Thanks for giving us a quick look at our favorite Jammer! I had to pause the video for a second to see you. What you guys do is so incredible. Thank you so much for your service to our country. Many blessings to you and your family! Edit: I'm not sure why, but I always get goosebumps whenever I watch one of your videos.

[@Germansheppuplover]

That was amazing! What a privilege to feel we are in the jump seat. Incredible how you get the timing right with the delay, and zoop straight over perfectly!! Thank you so much, gave me goosebumps 👍🏼

[@kenshoemaker]

As an Air Force ground pounder with field maintenance, I cannot express how proud I am of you and your videos. I subscribed with pleasure. High tides and following seas to you and yours.

[@anwatts1]

Thanks mate, I was a real treat to have you upload a fly by with USS Lexington CV-16 in the background only a few days shy the battle of the Coral Sea anniversary where USS Lexington CV-2 was lost. It was the skill and sacrifice of USN navy pilots that saved us in Australia that day back in 1942. It's not forgotten. Keep up the amazing work.

[@pollylewis9611]

Pail, where do I even begin, but this was amazing, I think one of the best Jams you have put up, just so exciting to be right in the jet with you all, I do miss flying so much but this was so awesome to hear and see what it takes to do a flyover, Thank you so much to everyone and their hard work and especially you "Pail" thank you......Polly!

[@GrowlerJams]

Thanks, Polly!

[@cbet25]

This is fantastic. Always wanted to see the complete picture of flyovers.

[@ronaldstarreveld]

I realize that times change and there is no stopping that but it hurts my heart to see civilians not military folks doing everything. Being a plane captain was attached to a specific aircraft ( mine was KA6D 523 VA-52) was an honor. Thanx for sharing

[@rolls_royce42]

I was surprised by the amount of civilians involved, pretty much everyone but the pilots?

[@rickwilliamson9248]

Pail, Favorite Jam so far. I predicted 'SERIOUS' epicness. I was wrong. I underestimated. Nice to finally see the front of your face, rather than the back of your helmet. Well done to all. Fly Navy.

[@GrowlerJams]

Cheers! And Fly Navy.

[@billbrockman779]

Great video. Every time the Braves or Falcons have a flyover, sometimes staged out of Dobbins ARB, the Nextdoor message boards light up with “why were the military jets flying around?” Most are newer people who weren’t there when NAS Atlanta had Hornets or the ANG had Eagles or the Raptors were being made there. I miss those “sounds of freedom.”

[@andrewbaker3886]

Out standing video. im 17 and live in Corpus. That day i was watching radar and listening to app/departure (120.9) and noticed the call of rusty 11 flight of 4 come through. i thought it was very interesting so i kept listening the saw yall on radar. went outside and got to see yall fly over. my goal is after highschool to go to college and get my degree and either join the navy or coastguard and become a pilot. thanks for the amazing video!

Great video, Pail! Well done to you and your wingmen. Dad said you guys flew smartly, and he was very happy to see the Lexington make a cameo appearance, he did his qualifications aboard her in 1972. He said “I’m happy she’s in a safe place.” Thanks again Pail for making my old man’s day.

[@robertd5789]

Thats awesome. I bet it was stressful trying to time it just right with a delay. Back in New Orleans we had the Zephyrs baseball team that used to send their guys to the Astros and then the Marlins. We went when i was a kid on Military Appreciation Day and they had the local F-15Es and Blackhawks fly over. Always a lot of fun.

[@jeffwilkens7824]

one of the best from Pail. As a retired maintainer, nice to see the work needed to get the jet in the air. Also kinda sad not to sailors anyhere to be found on the ground, just contractors

[@chrisc2683]

I was wondering about that. The guys on the ground given their “appearance”, I figured they couldn’t be active duty military. So you’re saying they depend on civilian contractors to do this function for them?

[@327Erich]

I always wondered how they got the timing down on these flyovers. Knowing that there was (obviously) someone in the stadium talking to the aircraft, I always incorrectly assumed the jets were in a holding pattern much closer, maybe 30ish seconds away, which *could* make it seem more doable if the cue was "And the rockets' red glare" or wherever that would fall in the timing. I was quite wrong and I'm that much more impressed. Thank you for sharing this, Pail. Love the channel!

Our local pilots' club has done a few flyovers, and we didn't always have the luxury of having a ground controller available. Plus, it's hard to get Cessna 150s, Cherokee 180s, and everything in between lined up and in trail. November 2019 I and a retired F-16 friend did a to-ship missing man formation for 106 year old Eugene Engledow (Google his name; you'll be glad you did). Terry flew a Van's RV-8, painted in P-51 livery, with smoke onboard. He had an IO-360, so he had plenty of power; I had a slightly modified O-320, and was #1; A shallow dive to Vne for me, and him on my right wing. Just as we leveled out over the gravesite, he turned on the smoke and pulled a vertical. Gene deserved it. Thanks for this walk-through.

Another excellent "FLY NAVY" production! Your calm but assertive voice reminds me of sitting in on the BLUE ANGELS airshow brief when I was an "Air Boss" for civilian air shows. The "BOSS" went through each rehearsed maneuver with that same kind of voice. It was comforting to listen to the cadence of the maneuvers spoken by the "BOSS," knowing that the same tone and cadence would be heard in each crafts radios. The performance they flew was perfect; as always.

Awesome video! A lot goes into getting perfect timing on the flyover, and it’s worth it! Good videography, and edit, as well. I’ve photographed the Lexington via drone several times, so I know what it looks like from the air and as I was scrolling I saw it in the thumbnail and thought no way! A Corpus Christi jam?! The Corpus Christi area doesn’t get much airtime on the internet it seems, so yeah, I’m still surprised to see this! Good stuff!
