I’ve heard rumors about this, but does anyone have any inside info whether this is true or not? Sorry if this has been brought up recently I just think it would be amazing if this actually happens.

I remember reading something about that but I never heard a definite yes or no for a flyover.



That would be so awesome. I heard that B-52s make the ground shake when they fly really low.

I was stationed at Barksdale and lived on base. Also lived on a few different fighter bases. B-52s (or any of the heavies really) never seemed as ear-splitting as a group of fighters, but there is nothing like seeing a B-52 come over because of what it is capable of and just how big it is.

That said, if they come down as low as they are allowed (there is a min altitude for flyovers) and they have those 8 engines going hard, it would be pretty freaking loud.

What time does it get dark on the night of the game? That could be a factor.

Working on that. If we pull it off, Devin White will parachute onto the field from the bomb bay at the beginning of the second half.

Sun will have set for game time, Flyovers are night are EXTREMELY rare. 0% chance of B-52 flyover.

Would it be to much to ask that they "lose" a payload over the SEC office?

Could we have an Apache flyover? I would like for him to repel down like a Navy Seal being that he is a bad arse also!

That’s one hell of a GoFundMe.

Where do I donate?

They cruise around 500, so about 30 min

Edit: Beat me to it...and with more specificity
