F-22? Stealth? Will there even be a flyover!?
 
All I know is, in Oakland they should fly in the missing-man formation.

Can't argue with that but I'll go with an F-22

whatever will cost the taxpayers the least; seriously, it's like $20,000 an hour to keep a Stealth in the air. assuming that the assignment takes several hours from fueling to takeoff to holding to flying over to landing to returning the plane to the hanger, that probably comes to at least $100k. multiply that by 16 nfl games and you'd soon be talking real money, when people are struggling to pay their taxes.

sorry to be a spoilsport, but a military honor guard for the National Anthem and house seats from the Krafts for disabled veterans feels about right to me when a lot of people have given up their tickets because of the economy.

They had stealth bombers a couple of years ago, and in their pregame flight path, one went (literally) right over our neighborhood. It looked to be about 300, maybe 400 feet up (very close) and it was extremely... frightful, just gliding along in silence. Those things are just menacing...I'll go with Stealth Bombers!
 
Touchdown passes from Brady to Moss. Multiple times.

I call BS. They don't fly a mission just to do a flyover. They fly a training mission combined with the flyover, so the delta cost for the flyover is very small.
 
I will be delighted to see Richard Seymour on a Jet Blue heading to Oakland.
 
If they do have an F-22, it may approach stealthily, but once overhead it'll rattle the windows, that's for sure. Saw one at an airshow last month, amazing piece of technology.

Will it be dark by gametime?

if you're right about that, then my point is moot, but I'd be interested in your source.

First hand experience. Your concern is valid, just trying to clarify that the cost is not as significant as you think :eat3:
