knapplc Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I don't know for sure but the NE ANG unit is a refueling squadron so I don't know why they'd be using an advanced jet trainer... I'm guessing if it is T-38's they're probably from Randolph AFB near San Antonio or Sheppard AFB near some small town... And don't you mean the F-117 stealth? If so, unfortunately that plane has been retired. We are an air refueling unit, but they have these little dart-shaped planes like the T-38 as well. Not sure why we have them (maybe so we have planes to fly to help train the fueling unit?), but I know they're part of the local operation. They talked about them on a tour I took of the base a while back, but I can't remember for certain what the plane was called. Plus I see them flying around nearly every day. Some of those pilots like to open up the throttle on the way up and it makes a nice sound. And by nice I mean really, really loud. Quote Link to comment
trob0508 Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Just got ahold of my cousin for a couple minutes and they are indeed flying T-38's. There will be 4 planes in formation flying, and they are trying to figure out the timing problem. They are going to have a couple co pilots with two or three of the jets to see if that helps at all. Anyway cant wait for the game, flyovers always get the crowd fired up!!! Quote Link to comment

JOEY Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 When was the last time that we had a game that had jets fly over? Quote Link to comment
Minnesota_husker Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 It will be a different tunnel walk. Quote Link to comment

If so, unfortunately that plane has been retired. Vance AFB in Enid still has -38's as well. I see them all the time beating the pattern here at Tinker. It's unfortunate it's only T-38's if that is the case. -16's or -15's would be much more impressive. Quote Link to comment
GHOST Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Flyovers ? seriously? What time will they be doing it then? I live by the staduim I'll have 2 try and take some pix of the flyover Quote Link to comment

I live by the staduim I'll have 2 try and take some pix of the flyover They are doing the flyover right after the band plays the national anthem (hopefully). Its really hard to get the timing right but nonetheless flyovers are the sh!t!!! Oh and they fly from the north to the south, so just be looking north while the band is playing and you should be able to see them coming. Quote Link to comment
Minnesota_husker Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Ya, i have a feeling flyovers will be fixed this week, or one can hope they will be because flyovers this year have been sloppy. Quote Link to comment
RazzinGTO Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I need to stop reading and concentrate on work. I am so pumped for this game...I don't need a special tunnel walk or a flyover! But I won't oject to both! Quote Link to comment

Hingle McCringleberry Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 When was the last time that we had a game that had jets fly over? SDSU.... They proceeded to fly over my house after that.... I was pissed, I let a friend of mine use my tickets so he could take his kid to her first game, oh-well at least she go to see something special..

knapplc Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Flyovers are pretty common anymore. We seem to do at least two per year, if not more. Quote Link to comment
Hingle McCringleberry Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 And don't you mean the F-117 stealth? If so, unfortunately that plane has been retired. I didn't know that. I guess the thing was over 30 years old already... and the F-22 is a major piece of kick a$$ Quote Link to comment
