killer cacti Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 For those going to Blacksburg, here are the details on flyover: Awesome, but one question: The Virginia Tech Corp of Cadets is proud to announce that, barring weather or operational factors, Marine All Weather Fighter Attack Squadron 224 from Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, SC.., If they're the All Weather squadron, why is it barring weather factors???

Because they are the Marines? Quote Link to comment
NoKoolAidForME Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Thats awesome that they got a good ole Seward, NE boy to participate in the fly by. Just so you all know he is defiantly doing his thing in the Corp as he was recently promoted to Captain just this month. Semper Fi Quote Link to comment

Dave5 Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Can't wait to see it. FedEx just delivered the tickets and parking pass I purchased on ebay. I have a feeling I'm not the only Nebraska fan buying tickets outside of the visitor allotment. Quote Link to comment

Because if it's overcast with a low ceiling the crowd won't be able to see the planes. Kinda defeats the purpose of a flyby. Quote Link to comment

Because if it's overcast with a low ceiling the crowd won't be able to see the planes. Kinda defeats the purpose of a flyby. Close. If the ceiling is too low or the visibility is not within min requirements, the crews will be restricted from flying low level over populated areas. They're all weather, but there are FAA/Military/USMC requirements for fly-overs. Quote Link to comment
treeeman Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Was there a fly over last week? I never saw one and my girl friend made me chug my beer to get to the game early Quote Link to comment
Drowning_in_the_Sea_of_Red Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Flyovers might just be the greatest thing in sports. Ok, behind wicked hot cheerleaders. But just barely... Quote Link to comment
huskerfan711 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Was there a fly over last week? I never saw one and my girl friend made me chug my beer to get to the game early Nope... I was waiting for it!! Quote Link to comment

I think parachutists coming into the stadium is better IMO, but it isn't done at very many places other than West Point and the Army Navy game. Quote Link to comment
jjamuss Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 I always wondered with the effort of a flyover, why do they never use smoke like they do in air shows? wouldnt it be cool to see some patriotic smoke trailing the flyover?! Quote Link to comment
