re: Flyby during National Anthem

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

Again - I wasn't there, and I can't watch the video at work.

Butch, you think they ended up going with trainers because it was the day before the 10th Anniversary of 9/11?

A T-45 looks like a stubby, single engine F-4. A T-38 looks shockingly like an F-5 (but I think those have been replaced). The other US jet trainers look like Lear Jets.

ETA: As they appear to be T-45s, I didn't do a bad job of guessing - having not seen them.
