Anybody know if military aircraft for the Army Navy game this weekend will be using military air or civilian air frequencies? I noticed today on Flightradar that they are flying around Boston and Gillette Stadium.
Any of the past Flyovers (NFL/MLS) had a UHF Military Controller on the Roof, but it has varied for VHF/UHF to the local Air Traffic ControlAnybody know if military aircraft for the Army Navy game this weekend will be using military air or civilian air frequencies? I noticed today on Flightradar that they are flying around Boston and Gillette Stadium.
Heads up for Saturday afternoon, Gillette stadium, Foxboro, Ma. Army-Navy football game flyovers. Here is the schedule:
• 2:48 pm - Golden Knights and Leap Frogs (weather permitting)
• 3:01 pm - National Anthem, will be sung by the glee clubs from both institutions
• 3:05 pm - Navy flyover will take place when the Mids take the field.
• Saturday's fly-over features 4 FA-18 Super Hornets from Carrier Air Wing One, based out of Naval Air Station Oceana, Va. Piloting the aircraft will be Lt. Cmdr. Matt "BONCERS" Burch, USNA Class of 2011, Lt. Cmdr. Jon "BG" Weissberg, Class of 2010, Lt. Miranda "Spunkey" Kosmides, Class of 2018, Lt. Katie "Pukasso" Arbuckle, Class of 2017, Lt. Cmdr.

• 3:05:45 pm - Army flyover will take place when the Black Knights take the field.
I believe I read somewhere that four Chinooks will do the Army flyover.
National TV on CBS
Yes! In my opinion all major sporting events should contract with Fox Sports (particularly the NASCAR) producers)! You want to see good flyover coverage watch a major nascar race on Fox.no flyovers on CBS .. WTH
ok they went to commercials and after showed a quick shot 1 f-18 and the helos
