Army Navy Game

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 Control

I believe I read somewhere that four Chinooks will do the Army flyover.
National TV on CBS

From the Midatlantic Mil Air tread on this site, see the above post on the schedule of the flyovers.

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.
