Flyby during National Anthem

Does anybody know what kind of planes those were that flew by during the national anthem of the NWS game?
If this has already been answered I don't care because I searched Google and searched OT and Rant and found nothing... which makes my question legitimate.

-Suit. The pants worn by pilots to keep their blood from pooling in their legs during flight while they pull Gs. Helps prevent said pilot from passing out.

Normally they have been F-15s or F-16s from the Air Force.
I wasn't there, so I'm guessing. Hopefully, we'll get F-22s.

No It definitely wasn't any of those. Honestly, as much as I love flybys, that one was a little weaker than I was expecting. Only two planes, and maybe it's because I was on the field, but there wasn't nearly as loud of a roar as they passed as there usually is.
But
all the same.

That would have been something to see...
(I don't think there is a single airworthy specimen in the US.)

Wings look more like a f-16's...IDK though
Posted on 9/13/11 at 2:03 pm to AbitaFan08
I believe they were instructed to fly higher because last year it was really loud and they were a lot closer. For safety reasons I think it was made clear to not fly that low again.

No way. I originally thought it was a T-38. Not sure now though. I had a bad view of them.

I'm honestly scratching my head on this one....not any fighter or attack plane that i recognize, probably a pair of trainers...

Those appear (really High up) to be Navy Trainer jets from NOLA. T-45 Goshawks. Its what we use to train pilots before transition to 18's etc..

I think they were T-38's. Jet Fighter Trainers.

i could have sworn they were Northrop F-5's.
I remember saying that they looked like the fictional Mig 28's from Top Gun.

That's it.
I don't get why we couldn't manage some F-15s or something.

That's really a shame. I mean, I understand the safety factor, but when they flew by and it felt like those jets were shaking TS, it always sent chills down my spine.

They were a pair of T-45 Goshawks from Nola.
