I played in that game. Was on the field for kick off return for the Horned Frogs. He was that low. Nothing fake about it. Gave me goose bumps and fired us up. LT rushed his butt off that game. Great victory for us. Go Frogs!
I was there. It was my first time attending a Navy football game. I was excited that the flyovers were so awesome. Needless to say, I was disappointed in all future flyovers. They have never been the same.
I was at this game, as a member of the Navy FB Team, and I can assure you it's 100% real. I was also an aspiring aviator at the time so couldn't wait until our class on Monday for our aviation practicum professor give us all of the details. It is true the pilot was "grounded" for a bit as described by Dport1231 in the Top Comments. It didn't help our cause on the field as we lost to TCU that day, but it certainly was "felt" by each person and the best flyby I've ever witnessed.
I was there, I've met the pilot on multiple occasions. He didn't get in trouble he flew again later that week. Keep in mind that this was pre 9/11 and the rules were MUCH more relaxed. The flyover from the game before was almost as low and was two F-14's.
I was there..I'm a naval Aviator and current commercial guy...we were on the second tier on the east side...the reason the shots look different is that they are from two different cameras. One is one the field..the other on the roof of the second tier on the west side. He came is relatively slow..you can see the slats are down and the flaps are cracked to get it around from the east..usually the flyby's come straight from the south..no turns..he surprised EVERYONE by coming from the east
I was at this game, everybody was looking high in the sky before we noticed the jet swoop through the stadium, amazing to hear the roar of the engines about a second or two behind it. I could have easily thrown and hit the plane with a baseball, thats how close it was.
I was there with my buddy, wife and 2 year old. We were on the opposite side, fairly high, we could see the pilots head. LT was running the ball for TCU, thats why we were there. It was awesome! All the hair on my body stood straight up. They featured this on 60 minutes focusing on the safety of flyovers a couple years later, the pilot throttled down to avoid a civilian aircraft. You'll never see anything like this again, we watch it all the time and its still great.
I believe Pisser was his callsign. He is a grad of USNA and a outstanding pilot. Yes they were mad and told him never to do it again LOL Balls of gold hellav pilot.
This one has been attributed to the Navy-TCU game in the fall of 2000. This one, I believe, happened well after I commissioned in 2001. The plane in this video is an F/A-18C. The plane that flew over in 2000 was an F/A-18E Super Hornet. Also, the Super Hornet was actually flying slower. He had full flaps down, went into a 70-degree bank over Memorial Stadium, hit the afterburner, was applying full left rudder, and went over the treetops at a level attitude. He did not climb. This was 2000, well before the advent of camera phones and I only ever saw one picture on the internet. Also, I don't think the pilot in the 2000 game flew as low. He was actually slightly above the tops of the bleachers.
This video is 100% real. I was at that football game. I've got to say after watching the video it seemed lower in person. The pilot forgot that when you go knife edge the lift created by your wings is no longer in the opposite direction of gravity. It's one of the coolest fly-by's I've seen (till doing my own that is).
I was there on the 40 yard line, every hair on my body stood straight up, it was awesome! They featured it on 60 minutes, supposedly he was trying to avoid a civilian aircraft.
I can verify that this did happen & I was there. It was Sept. 2000 & I was at a pregame tailgate in the SW corner. I remember it clearly because I moved from Annapolis the next day. I was with other Airline Pilot chums and former Navy pilots. The pilot was a Marine and there is no mistaking this flyby for any other. He approached exactly as you see & boy did he impress! They had a brief image of this Flyby on the ESPN Sportscenter lead in promo the next Sunday night. So again, it was 2000!!!
This was f'ing CRAZY. I thought he was going to take out half the stadium and the midshipmen class of '01. This got #9 ranked TCU pumped and the whole team when ballistic for about 3 minutes on the sideline. Then Tomlinson and the Nations #1 defense proceeded to a routine 21-0 route.
Whoever you talked to lied to you. The Major did not lose his wings, correct, but he was grounded for the 2 weeks prior to his retirement. The only reason he only got a small slap on the wrist is because he admitted to his errors in judgement and was retiring. This was all over the Navy/Marine Corp news in 2001, I know, I was doing my final TAD at JAG in DC right before getting out.
He actually didn't mean to be that low, he scared the shit out of himself and he called his commander as soon as he landed and said "Boss...I fucked up". He was grounded for a few weeks, but then right back up with no other restrictions. This is one extreme but the way flyovers are now is the other. "Higher....Slower!" we use to yell in a sarcastic manner at the AF Academy when I was a cadet. haha
That was awesome!! I can not believe I found this video. I was sitting opposite side of Midshipmen by the light tower that the Navy jet went arround. The whole area shook. srl
I was there. It was my first Navy game and my first flyover. I was very impressed and looked forward to many more great flyovers. Sadly, nothing ever compared to that first one and all the ones that followed were disappointing in comparison.
Iceman: You're everyone's problem. That's because every time you go up in the air, you're unsafe. I don't like you because you're dangerous. Maverick: That's right! Ice... man. I am dangerous.
A high angle of attack, which the Hornet is extremely good at, and stalling, are 2 very different things. You could bring the F/A-18 through there at very low speed, nose up attitude, (45 degrees+) and still be nowhere near stalling and have more than enough handling characteristics. Slipping the rear away is just natural at slow speeds.
in case anyone was wondering. It wasnt fake, i was at the game with my dad, looking to go to the academy. It was an f-18, but being flown by a marine major. We have marine pilots fly over our stadium just as often as navy pilots. Just so everyone knows and can stop arguing
Air Force Pilots: fly sick jets fuckin fast and low Naval Aviators: land on carriers Marine Pilots: Have FUCKIN HUGE BALLS!! And this is coming from a USAF (Thunderbird) lover!
I have studied F/A-18 flight dynamics and I'm pretty sure Comets is right. If you watch the back end of the aircraft seems to slip as he pulls out of the stadium, indicating that the aircraft was near a stall before the pilot plugged in the burners.
This video is 100% real. I was at that football game. I've got to say after watching the video it seemed lower in person. The pilot forgot that when you go knife edge the lift created by your wings is no longer in the opposite direction of gravity.
Damn that was a low pass, That Major definatly had a brass pair....lol, and to all those who have said that the hornet is just a Navy plane, the Marines do fly them as well, so do alot of other countries. The Navy still flies this version, just not as much anymore due to the Super Hornet. Wow what an awesome pilot.
This is undoubtedly one of the best or possibly THE best fly-by I have ever seen. I am curious as to why the two pilots who flew over before the Georgia Tech/Wake Forest game ended up permanently losing their wings because they were too low. However, to me they didn't look like they were dangerously too low when I saw the video. Furthermore, compared to this they definitely weren't all that low. Curious if anyone knows why or even just have an opinion as to why the punishment was so severe.
Haven't bothered to read the rest of the comments, since I have a life, but all I can say is this guy probably caught some heat from his commander over this one - that low and slow could've been very bad. But for our sake (and especially the fans), it just ended up being awesome.
@kb3glo While the Marine's do fly the Hornet, the aircraft is based off of the YF-17 which was a prototype designed for the United States Air Force's Lightweight Fighter program. It lost to the YF-16. It was then entered into the Naval Fighter Attack Experimental program and eventually transformed into the F/A-18 for the Navy and Marine Corp.
i was at that game on the top deck looking almost eye level with the pilot. and yes his wings were taken away after that mistake. he lost control of the plane which lead into a stall then had to slam on the burners so he wouldnt land into the neighborhood across the street.
@RezViper - They will, it's a matter of time. They've done some preliminary testing and found some problems with boundary air in formation but eventually they'll have to get creative and phase out of the legacy Hornet.
@jazzsax86 If this is at TCU, then it's in Texas. The pilot was also stated as being a Marine. My guess is the owning unit is VMFA-112 out of Fort Worth. They fly F-18A+ aircraft.
@nastasepatrucase No, They do that over here on the East Coast in Savannah, GA. of all places. Right up the road is Beaufort MCAS, South Carolina. There is a Wing of F-18's there and AV8B Harriers that will pit stop at Sav International airport. There is also a wing of F-16's from Charlston. They always stop here when they do their ops over the Atlantic Ocean. But, they get crazy like this video, LOL, flying crazy "Ballz To The Wall" approaches & crap like that, But AWESOME to watch 'em!
@fdizenzo If you are accepted, it is like a scholarship. As long as you are enrolled at the Academy, there is no tuition. Right before you start your junior year, you have to sign a contract that says you will enlist if you drop out after that point. If you graduate, you are commissioned as an officer in one of the military branches.
Fortunately you're mistaken on the losing the wings part. I talked to him just under a year ago. He was a Colonel when I talked to him and still doing just fine in the Marine Corps. He also told me he was never even grounded for this. Essentially all he got was a very hard slap on the wrist and a "don't do that again!"
Not fake. TCU @ Navy. TCU players weren't that pumped up to be playing Navy until this flyover (according to stories after the game). Held Navy to 3 points this day.
Does anyone have links to articles about this episode? I remember seeing this video many years ago and just spent an hour trying to find it 😄 dangerous or not, stupid or thrill junkie, what ever opinion you have about this pilot and his performance it is still the BEST flyover I've ever seen. THE BEST!! 👌👍🏻💪😄😎🙀😬
I was there and it seemed lower in person. His wing split the uprights. LaDainian Tomlinson went off that day as usual. Pilot lost his wings permanently for the stunt.
You're right, the army doesnt operate fighters. But he does have a very valid point, this HAS to be fake, there is no way in hell the USMC would allow a pilot to fly that low to a stadium.
Man, if he had been going fast enough, all those windows would have shattered. There's a way you can ask a pilot to fly max speed without getting in trouble for it.
@txcavu because the minimum they're allowed to fly in restricted air space is 500 feet above ground level. That is MOST DEFINITELY lower than 500 feet. I've seen two pilots who did a fly over not nearly as dangerous as this video and they both got their wings pulled immediately, no questions asked. Oh and they were both Lt. Commanders. O-5.
Call it too low too dangerous call it what you want but that by far is the best fly by ever!!!! For those who dont know what the sound of freedom is . Hear that !! And GET SOME !!!!!
@Bowskenarts There were only small numbers of Air Marshals on International flights, let alone Domestic. You could teach a 12 year old to wave around a gun or bomb and to fly a plane into a skyscraper.
This was a bird from VMFA-321 pilot USMC . Out of Andrews A.F.B. Let's just say that that pilot was held acountable. I was at that game! was very cool to see my squadron representing! VMFA-321 also have done WVU football games. Although sadly has now been decommisioned.
Negative Ghost Rider, the stadium is full. That was the greatest flyby I've ever seen. He actually lost altitude over the playing field. Too cool. I guess they lift the altitude restrictions when you're the Naval Academy.
I think this date is wrong. I was at the game in the stands, and I was in the band at TCU from 2002-2006, so I believe it was sometime then or right after spring 2006. It was definitely not before fall of 02.

Yep, I was here for this. It was amazing. My dad still raves about it to this day, though he recalls the pilot going through the uprights :)
Nothing will ever compare, this flyover rocked the stadium… I’m so thankful to have witnessed this in person!!!
I learned to fly a jet in just 3 weeks using Rosetta Stone Jet. Total immersion is the only way
I was there, I've met the pilot on multiple occasions. He didn't get in trouble he flew again later that week. Keep in mind that this was pre 9/11 and the rules were MUCH more relaxed. The flyover from the game before was almost as low and was two F-14's.

You are correct.
You would be correct.
And when he got back to the base he buzzed the tower...
So is this the pass that caused all the future flyovers at Navy-Marine Corp Stadiumto be so pedestrian?

Guy should be flying a cargo plane full of rubber ducks out of Hong Kong.
+a I WANT SOME BUTTS!!
+tamw lmao
+a Its "Rubber Dog Shit" not rubber ducks.
+a Its "Rubber Dog Shit" not rubber ducks.
that fly-through was the high point of that game
"Let's welcome Major Never-going-to-fly-again (VOOOOSH)"
WHOO HOO! I'm guessing the pilot was a fan of one of the teams?! Super cool.
Will never forget that game and that Flyover. It was so loud!
Awesome fly by, I thought it was fake too. However, it is 100% real.
He actually didn't mean to be that low, he scared the shit out of himself and he called his commander as soon as he landed and said "Boss...I fucked up". He was grounded for a few weeks, but then right back up with no other restrictions. This is one extreme but the way flyovers are now is the other.

Hell of a job ! Hey ! That's one of OUR guys people !
Win or loose, that was worth the price of admission charged right there.
the pilot deserves a purple heart
I wonder how many people crapped their pants. They were all expecting an awesome flyby, but they got the best one ever.
That friends, is one of OUR pilots ! Helluva job !
"THE SOUND OF FREEDOM , SIR !!!"
Iceman: You're everyone's problem. That's because every time you go up in the air, you're unsafe. I don't like you because you're dangerous.

Now that is a FLY-IN!! OUTSTANDING!
I was there. TCU dominated Navy that day. LaDainian Tomlinson in Annapolis.
It's pretty interesting that he flies right next to the General Dynamics advertisement.
Air Force Pilots: fly sick jets fuckin fast and low
Naval Aviators: land on carriers
Marine Pilots: Have FUCKIN HUGE BALLS!!
And this is coming from a USAF (Thunderbird) lover!
I have studied F/A-18 flight dynamics and I'm pretty sure Comets is right. If you watch the back end of the aircraft seems to slip as he pulls out of the stadium, indicating that the aircraft was near a stall before the pilot plugged in the burners.
Haha, it sounds like he's saying, "Let's welcome Major Michael Moore."
"Tower this is Voodoo 1, requesting flyby....."
"Negative Ghost Rider, the pattern is full..."
I LOVE THIS PILOT !
This video is 100% real. I was at that football game. I've got to say after watching the video it seemed lower in person. The pilot forgot that when you go knife edge the lift created by your wings is no longer in the opposite direction of gravity.

That major has some balls... Flying that low
"Let's welcome Major Mike...good god, that was low."
@kb3glo While the Marine's do fly the Hornet, the aircraft is based off of the YF-17 which was a prototype designed for the United States Air Force's Lightweight Fighter program. It lost to the YF-16. It was then entered into the Naval Fighter Attack Experimental program and eventually transformed into the F/A-18 for the Navy and Marine Corp.
Let's welcome Major....to his new job flying a desk!
I remember seeing 4 F-15's practicing for the fly-over for the Seahawk vs airforce game.
i was at that game on the top deck looking almost eye level with the pilot. and yes his wings were taken away after that mistake. he lost control of the plane which lead into a stall then had to slam on the burners so he wouldnt land into the neighborhood across the street.
@RezViper - They will, it's a matter of time. They've done some preliminary testing and found some problems with boundary air in formation but eventually they'll have to get creative and phase out of the legacy Hornet.
what a Fly-over!!!! ********** low!!! Awesome!
@jazzsax86 If this is at TCU, then it's in Texas. The pilot was also stated as being a Marine. My guess is the owning unit is VMFA-112 out of Fort Worth. They fly F-18A+ aircraft.

He was dragging his tailhook and the flaps are down so I think that put him slow enough for such a low-fly by.
Pretty cool.
"Let's welcome Major Mi- (Deaf for the rest of my life.)"
"And let's welcome Major Michael oooohhhh my God he is so demoted."
It was also on the sportscenter lead by the way. Check the archives.
SWEEEET ! glad he didn't get in too much trouble man was like inside the stadium
LOL !
Wow, I would have had a heart attack! I bet those people were screaming more in fear than amazement.
gotta love america for things like this
Fortunately you're mistaken on the losing the wings part. I talked to him just under a year ago. He was a Colonel when I talked to him and still doing just fine in the Marine Corps.

Speaks truth!
Not fake. TCU @ Navy. TCU players weren't that pumped up to be playing Navy until this flyover (according to stories after the game). Held Navy to 3 points this day.
man that was CLOSE, he got in trouble for that flyby
That was AWESOME
Now THAT'S a fly by.
was there when it happened...definetely legit.
Now THAT'S how you do a flyover.
Omfg Amazing fly by ! That's crazy !
Does anyone have links to articles about this episode? I remember seeing this video many years ago and just spent an hour trying to find it 😄 dangerous or not, stupid or thrill junkie, what ever opinion you have about this pilot and his performance it is still the BEST flyover I've ever seen.

I was there and it seemed lower in person. His wing split the uprights.
LaDainian Tomlinson went off that day as usual.
Pilot lost his wings permanently for the stunt.
@bobtgrainger Not sure where the planes were from but they are flying over Navy-Marines Corps stadium in Annapolis.
Insane but very cool...Betcha got everyone pumped up!!!
That was sweet. It looked like someone got in trouble when they landed but still sweet.
That was awesome
You're right, the army doesnt operate fighters. But he does have a very valid point, this HAS to be fake, there is no way in hell the USMC would allow a pilot to fly that low to a stadium.
Holy shit he was low, im sure he got shit for that
now THATS a fly by
WOW THAT LOOKED LIKE IT WAS REALLY CLOSE!!
He did it because it was a fly over for a naval football game. You know...after they sing the anthem...
Man, if he had been going fast enough, all those windows would have shattered. There's a way you can ask a pilot to fly max speed without getting in trouble for it.
tailhook snags the flag. flys away on full afterburner. rick perry faints.
@txcavu because the minimum they're allowed to fly in restricted air space is 500 feet above ground level. That is MOST DEFINITELY lower than 500 feet. I've seen two pilots who did a fly over not nearly as dangerous as this video and they both got their wings pulled immediately, no questions asked. Oh and they were both Lt. Commanders. O-5.
Damn. That gave me chills! That's bad ass.
Call it too low too dangerous call it what you want but that by far is the best fly by ever!!!! For those who dont know what the sound of freedom is . Hear that !! And GET SOME !!!!!
"Throw me the ball, I'm open!"
@Bowskenarts There were only small numbers of Air Marshals on International flights, let alone Domestic. You could teach a 12 year old to wave around a gun or bomb and to fly a plane into a skyscraper.
This was a bird from VMFA-321 pilot USMC . Out of Andrews A.F.B. Let's just say that that pilot was held acountable. I was at that game! was very cool to see my squadron representing! VMFA-321 also have done WVU football games. Although sadly has now been decommisioned.
Negative Ghost Rider, the stadium is full. That was the greatest flyby I've ever seen. He actually lost altitude over the playing field. Too cool. I guess they lift the altitude restrictions when you're the Naval Academy.
where did you find out that info, id love to read about it.
Best seat in the house!!!! Semper Fi!!!!
What a kick ass fly by!!!!!!!
I think this date is wrong. I was at the game in the stands, and I was in the band at TCU from 2002-2006, so I believe it was sometime then or right after spring 2006. It was definitely not before fall of 02.
