I live by the Air Force Academy and every home game they do flyovers - it never gets old. My dad is retired Air Force. Always amazing.
I like turtles
I am up near Longmont and love seeing them fly over cu for games.
Everything is all fun and games,until a liberal shows the phuck up.
If you can’t heat a hot dog on an afterburner what’s the point. 🤘
One of my favorite things about living in the Springs is the random flyovers. Like today during dinner a C-130J came screaming over the house.
Pilot 1 (lead pilot of the formation) grounded in April 2010 and sent to desk jobs. In 2015, ran wargames for Naval War College Retired from Navy 2017 Six months later, became Delta 757 and 767 pilot In 2022, became Delta Instructor - still there.
Pilot 2 grounded April 2010 and sent to desk job. Quit Navy with almost 13 years service in 2012 (obviously was in the Navy to be a pilot. No one quits at 13 years!) Became test pilot for NASA in 2012 and continues to this day.
Navy made good on their promise to ground them permanently but FAA did not.
The Navy has gone to hell. No wonder they can't recruit.
Good solid info, you must be retired by now. I remember the pain of tailhook and so many friends forced out for a few discretionary mistakes. A couple bad apples changed the navy forever! Just goes to show you, It only takes one.

I grew up on a dairy farm in Jacksonville Florida and our farm was between N.A.S. JAX and CECIL FIELD. They are 10 miles apart and back in the 1960’s they used to fly over our fields going from base to base. As it was a short hop the pilots had their canopies slid back and open and when we heard the roar of the radial engines we would run out into the field to wave at the pilots. They would wave back and rock their wings as they passed. Aviators are BOSS!
As I used to work on the flight deck of USS Carl Vinson and F14s would fly over deck lower and break the sound barrier over us!!! Scared the crap out of us😂😂😂 but that's the sound of freedom!!!
@@Ernesto-sb5kh Nearly 300 billion dollars of debt & wasted money, so much freedom, so free, woo hoo....
@@xPeopleKindx I don't understand how people like you don't understand this still. All this stuff counts towards training hours. These flights have to take place anyways. It requires hours of planning (part of the training time and requirement) to organize the flight plan, identify the markers, and then show up on time (time on target). This could simulate a strike attack, or maybe here as the aircraft were dirty (gear down) a simulated approach to a ship/field. This stuff has to happen for the pilots and aircraft to stay current, otherwise it requires even more time and cost to get re-certified rather than maintaining a qualification.

We used to get an F-16 flyover every year at Fresno State before the home football game closest to Veterans Day. Their was an Air National Guard wing nearby at the Fresno/Yosemite International Airport. Around 2005 or 2006 the four F-16s came by perfectly and right on time. At half time the four pilots were in the end zone and the camera went on each one as they were introduced by name one at a time. The crowd stood and applauded after which the announcer said "...and all four of these pilots here today completed their ROTC training and graduated from Fresno State!" The place went bat-shit crazy.
Why did the place go crazy? I guess in missing something or don’t understand some context.
Pride. They all went to our university. None of them were USAFA or from any other college. They were alumnus of the college that they just overflew. The crowd loved it and ate it up. @@miloelite
Thank you. I understand now. What a cool experience.
Incredible!!
Best of the best ..
Was a kid in navy housing, just outside NAS Norfolk, when the Blue Angels were F4 Phantoms. Had two fly over the housing complex close enough to read the numbers under the wings. Wasn’t expecting it, so it scared the crap out of me. Still awesome as hell.
I wish I could have seen them in the F4s just once. My first time seeing them was the first year they got into the F-18s.
Grew up in VB next to Oceana, and yeah man, we'd go crazy watching those Blue Angels Phantoms fly over. Seems like they were tree top high 😄
They were even louder as Phantoms then they are now as Hornets.
My wife and I used to go over to NAS NORVA to see the F-14's come in. We'd be at the approach end of the runway and they'd fly over us. So cool!
I rarely ever experience a flyby at a sporting event, but when I do ... THIS is what I want! I want to see the pilots so I can wave back at them. Bravo!! ✌
The RAAF just had their Riverfire practice day today in Brisbane, they were waving! It happens every year, the C-17 is more spectacular than the Super Hornets/Growlers. It literally danced between buildings.
Glad our tax dollars are entertaining for you. A few hundred thousand bucks so two airplanes can fly over a football stadium in 3 seconds so you can wave to them. Cooool!

“Negative GhostRider, the pattern is full.”
Looks like they were wheels down and trimmed to keep the speed down and power on to maintain safe operations. The people in the stadium were more at risk from bad food and sunstroke then from the pilots actions.
Anal sunstroke.
you are exactly right! we are a nation of pussies now.
Yup wheels down in military terms mean that they are dirty, the airframe is not smooth, I didn’t see anything wrong with that pass but some higher up officer type did, he was probably jealous he wasn’t part of the fly over or they were below minimum altitude rules!

Used to be some awesome F16 flyovers at Michigan International Speedway by the Selfridge Air National Guard. Usually twice; once at "low" speed the 2nd with full afterburners on! It was worth the price of admission!
I used to cycle through the Metro parl nearby when they were practicing for the air show, and it was incredible.
trust me they would not be at full afterburner anywhere below 25000 feet
@@sn1p3s29 On the 2nd pass they'd come in over the top of the grandstands and go vertical until they disappeared into the wild blue with blue/orange flame coming out of the tail about the length of the plane. If that wasn't the AB, then it was full throttle. Regardless, it was pretty awesome to see and feel!

In Castella, CA at Ammirati's Market in 1999 two air national guard pilots from the Klamath Falls, OR base were simulating dogfights. The area is rural and mountainous forest. I saw them coming from the west down a wide canyon to the store. At about 1000 feet they sharply turned upward, one after the other. They hit their afterburners and since their exhaust was pointed at me, it felt like heaters blasting on me. It was spectacular. Quite an unusual view watching them go straight up above me.
I worked at a warehouse full of wine across from the Boeing field in Seattle. had a f-22 leave one day by flying straight up vertically with the afterburners, I remember the wine stacks shaking or feeling like they were. crazy machines.
You have a battle with telling the truth. Fighter pilots don't just go out and "practice dogfighting." That kind of training is never done anywhere near civilian areas. You may have seen some planes, but you sure as hell most certainly DID NOT feel the heat from any afterburners. Absolutely ridiculous.
@@tonyjackson4099 Yep, happened just as I described. The second plane followed the first climbing vertical. Honest truth. I will not forget that heat. Since we are playing internet commandos and insults, I have a question. Who died and made you Mister Wizard?
@@tonyjackson4099you must’ve not read his complete paragraph? Is reading hard for you lil buddy? Glad you were there.
@@tonyjackson4099 Watched two USN F-14's play tag up and down the valley beside the palace of Knossos in Crete in the winter of 1982. They were often way below the ridge line. Standard Cold War tactics. They were very low and passed very close on several occasions. They went vertical and high when finished playing. Saw the same maneuver with two F-18's flying CAP over Seattle just after 9/11. Sat on the afterburners until just specs in the sky directly above. Plus I've smelled that AVGAS smell in the wash of a Blue Angles F-18 that had flown very low while doing a pull up over city hills in both Seattle and SF. An afterburner wash can be many hundreds of feet.
The hard deck for this hop was 10,000 ft. They knew, they broke it. They followed commanded Heatherly below after he lost sight of them and called no joy.
They’re wildcards. Fly by the seat of their pants.

Thank you algorithm for bringing this on my front page after 13 years. I'm sure they're no longer grounded, but probably retired. 😂
Ha! Best comment so far! Yeah, youtube promoted this one out of left field.
Nothing worth losing their wings for. That's absurd, if true. When I was a kid they used to fly LOW at air shows, unlike today. They're so damn risk-averse now, that fly-overs are so high you might not be sure it even happened. Reprimand? Okay. Temporary grounding? Extreme. Take their wings? Absurd.
There is a problem if you were ordered not to.I think it was awesome but the commanders don't need cowboys up there.
Those same Air Shows killed a lot of pilots and spectators.
@@RBMK-ym4dm Actually, not true. As many if not more spectators and pilots are killed today.
Ever hear of the Cavalese disaster? Yes it was. Stupidity like this can easily take lives. They are risk averse because they have literally been responsible for murdering civilians with negligence.
This was some time ago, and the reason they lost their wings was this wasn't intentional. They had misconfigured their aircraft to use barometric altitude instead of radar altitude, resulting in a much lower pass than they intended. USN Evaluation board published a report on it. Ever since the Thunderbirds "diamond" crash they take this stuff really seriously.
now that is bad ass.
those pilots understood the assignment. afterburners on just prior to flyover !!!
Lost wings? Ridiculous. I would have THANKED them for the precision flying and providing all involved an unforgettably SAFE experience.
Awesome catch man! Would you be okay with me featuring this in my series Weekly Dose of Aviation? Of course you will be credited both in the video and in the description.

ayo?
Have at it. For more to enjoy
hey Lucass I watch your video's all the time. I have a great video idea for you to show on your channel. You could show everyone how my balls lifted off of your forehead this past tuesday. : )
Sick!
When I was a kid, a very active Air Guard Squadron operated here. They always flew so low us kids could clearly make out the oxygen mask and helmets the pilots were wearing, they would come in low and slow and actually wave back at us! I recall when they were transitioning from The RF-101 Voodoo to the RF-4C Phantoms....watching a Voodoo & Phantom flying in formation was awesome! A lot of different birds came through our area due to our location, at that time, to all the active military posts , Air Refueling orbits and Gunnery Ranges located around. Saw all kinds of birds low and slow. If they did that today thise pilots would get grounded and probably lose their wings ...I am fortunate to have seen the sights I saw.
WORTH IT
Although aggressive, risk-taking, low, slow jockeying is great for wartime. It's not outside of the battle space. Rules and regs are in place to moderate pilot behavior and prevent tragedy. Just because they are confident about pushing the envelope does not mean that miscalculations and changing conditions don't happen.
Never ever gets old. Nice job catching them coming in.
Thanks, I felt like I picked out a decent spot.
One of the reasons those pilots got in so much trouble is because, as it turns out, they did NOT do that on purpose. They used the incorrect instrumentation to determine their altitude, resulting in a fly-by much lower than they intended. Barometric pressure tells you how far above sea level you are. Radar tells you how far above ground level you are. They were supposed to be on radar, but they were on barometric, so they thought they were a lot further from the ground than they actually were. That's a pretty serious error.
Edit(5 days and 573 likes after original post): Folks this is not my opinion, this is the finding of the Navy Evaluation Board which investigated this incident. If you think they did this on purpose, that just makes them even stupider than if it was an accident! They were permanently grounded for this fly-by. PERMANENTLY! They would have known that could happen! But they did it anyway? NO! They screwed up! Both planes had their instrumentation misconfigured for the stunt they were performing. And, yes, that makes sense, because in a situation like this the lead pilot tells the following pilot what to do, and the following pilot just does it. Look up the 1982 Indian Springs Thunderbirds crash to see how much good a pilot's eyes do at determining altitude. (Hint-they don't) An entire flight flew their planes straight into the ground at full speed because they were watching the lead pilot, and his plane malfunctioned. 4 pilots were killed, 3 of them without ever knowing it was coming.
On a perfectly clear day.......no one was in any danger.
They were both Alumni, flying over their school. So, they took the wings of both of them....even though one of them did 3 tours in Afghanistan, with the last being grounded.
LIBERALS.......now, the military is "lowering it's standards."
That makes sense..
Barometric also can show altitude/height over the ground (and not the sea level) It's called QFE. All they had to do is use the correct QFE and they would have been good. Or you can still use QNH (sea level) and add the terrain elevation+ the height you want to be above that field and still be good. Many ways to skin that cat, if this is really what happened it was a gross error, I suspect it's an excuse they gave for mitigating their case. Plus they should have seen from their eyes there were way below the normal height above ground for a pass so something is really fishy here.
@@12345fowler QFE would have required a weather station at the location, otherwise QFE would have been just been a guess. I also hadn't heard of QFE being used outside an airport environment.

I remember this. I was there working. I was sitting right behind the scoreboard on a john deere gator.
God Damn Maverick!
Salute!! Love our military.
I read about this. They had an assigned altitude that they were supposed to do the flyover at, both of them used their barometers (which measures air pressure, which gives you your elevation above sea level) instead of the system that uses radar to measure your distance from the ground. As a result, they were flying much lower there than they were supposed to. Needless to say, that is a really bad fuck up.
That’s was fantastic!!!
When need that flyover in September, 2023.!
I was at a race at Road America in Elkhart Lake WI during the early 70's - a military jet fighter (identifying it was impossible as it came by so suddenly) came over the pits during practice low and slow and then pulled up with afterburners lit. It went straight up and was gone. Word was that some Air Force officer was racing that weekend, and this was a gesture..
A lot of people jumped. One guy had his head under the hood of his car and bumped it pretty good trying to get a look.

They were late, too low, and they have landing gear down (which is an odd thing for a flyover). Wingman held nice positioning though. 4 out of 10.
Good god folks…this was 14 years ago. You should have seen the P51 “low passes” over the Rhine Valley in 1945. (Just as relevant 😜)
There are plenty of low passes done these days... but its planned ahead, the problem with these guys is they didn't follow the plan correctly and thus were too low relative to were they were supposed to be and it was 100% their fault.
the Hornets F/A 18's gave the crowd a thrill!!
SURE! GROUNDED FOR BEING AWESOME!!!
USAF had to one up Navy and get four pilots grounded in 2016. Both were awesome passes.
That was an AWESOME fly by!
They never get old. One of the best I ever saw was the 2011 Rose Bowl between TCU and Wisconsin. Four ship diamond formation of F-18s.
Also love watching videos of fighters engine startup, taxiing out and taking off from civilian airfields.

The best is the flyover before TCU at NAVY. It's on YT.
I'm from the UK and attended a home game for US Navy vs Texas Christians. This was around 2000, the two aircraft descended into the stadium, we were in the upper rows and were looking down on the aircraft, couldn't belive what I was watching.

Most if not all cities that have a military airfield stationed in them have a noise ordinance that the military must follow. I was in a Marine squadron of F18 in the Marine Corps in Beaufort S.C. They cant fly below a certain altitude, speed or past a certain time at night. We had to have ALL jets landed by 11pm sharp. So i'm willing to bet this was pushed from the city more than the military itself.
Talk about an absolutely Sissified, Flake-ass Wallflower city government (if that's the case).
Spilled milk is now a felony. INSTEAD the lads oughtta be Saluted, Standing, then invited for drinks and dinner and autographs, if agreeable enough or at the pilots' convenience. End of story.
It has nothing to do with city rules. The law of the land is they are not suppose to fly under 1000 feet according to the base commander at the time
