49 Plane Flyover

[David357]

Not sure who the Chief's were playing, but it would have been great if it had been the 49 ers with Kaeperknick on the field.

As you know, Obama cuts have eliminated many military flyovers at large events. Well, there's a group of guys in Kansas City who do some formation flying, in their own planes, and decided they'd volunteer to pick up the slack. They invited a couple of other groups to join them and before they knew it they had 48 guys with their own airplanes signing up to join in. If they had more time, they probably would have gotten an even larger group as people kept joining and a 49th was added near the event.

One additional feature of the flyover was the use of pink smoke for cancer awareness.

The folks from the Guinness Book were there and are expected to confirm it as the largest formation flight ever. And to top it off the crowd later set the record for the loudest gathering at a football stadium. Be sure your speakers are turned up. Best if watch at 'full' screen.

3 years late seeing for me but awesome. Love the "in your face Obama" attitude of most patriotic Americans.

Great Video. The formation looks almost like the shape of a B2 bomber looking up at it.

The only thing that could have made it better was if they had used a missing- man formation. Other than that, it was a superb idea well executed. Very well done!
