Someone asked about upcoming flyover of Metlife stadium 12PM this coming Saturday
for Navy vs Notre Dame game.. Looks like a good pregame lineup..
Later says flyover crews will be honored between 3rd and 4th quarter so assume the Norfolk E model pilots will
be landing up that way after pre-game flyover. May wait till Monday morning to return though it is early game.
Maybe all the pilots will arrive Friday afternoon for a rehearsal practice and land at station up there?
I'm sure there will be a moment of silence for the two lost EA/18G crewmembers in Wash State..
11:51:30 am - National Anthem, followed by a flyover
