What kind of flyover can we be expecting at the first home game? - New England Patriots Forums

B2? F16? Blackhawk?

I remember one year the B2 flew over. God that thing was amazing!

first a b-2
then 9 f-22s
then 5 blackhawks will circle the stadium as ozzie plays crazy trian, they will then hover over the field and the pats will fastrope in.
as another b-2 flys over

ok on a realistic note tho, v-22s would be awesome

Always seems like such a waste of money to me. Kraft should should fly over the stadium in his helicopter and wave to everyone.

Yeah, I generally don't get the fly over thing. OK, maybe at a Super Bowl or First Game of the World Series, which are games with national interest. But otherwise, it's expensive to put those planes in the air and, even though it's a routine event, there is an element, however small, of risk to the pilots and those on the ground.

How about Kraft in a hot air balloon or Kraft gliding in on a parachute?

My "favorite" is when they have a flyover over a domed stadium!

I live about 5 miles as the crow flies from the stadium and the holding pattern for the flight has been over my house. It is truly amazing to see, hear and FEEL the power from those planes.
