Looked like Korean war era jets. Straight wings. Diffidently old. Cool.


I couldn't recognize what they were either...small jets without swept wings...

That crop duster flyover never gets old.


The best part of that video has to be the way the cameraman is cracking up at this failed attempt of a flyover

I believe those jets were T-33 trainers.

One of the guys was a fraternity brother from LSU, so they were probably T45 Goshawk Intermediate/Advanced Jet trainers from NAS Meridian.

There were two planes, but I thought they read off a lot more names than they would have needed for two planes. It was loud and I may have misheard, but I wondered at the time if there were supposed to be more and somebody had a mechanical issue or something and had to abort.

I'm not bitching about it because it was awesome. I do agree they could have been lower, but I bet it was because of all the shite the Air Force got with super low fly overs.

Iowa Fly over

ESPN shot

Another view

The pilots got in a bunch of shite, but if you ask me it was bad arse!

The lead pilot was a USMC LTC, so they weren't students at any rate.

FAA restricts to 1000 feet without a waiver. 500 feet with a waiver. And before any of you say anything, yes, it does apply to military aircraft. You won't get a flyover anywhere below 500 feet. Just sayin.

I couldn't see them in my seats in the Stadium Club, but got chills when they passed.

Which is probably why they didn't drop my damn candy.

Now we've got a thread complaining about the "quality" of the fly over.

Apparently NOTHING in, out or above Tiger Stadium is good enough for you. If something is that bad, I don't go. So, I suggest you do the same...stay home!

They flew over my house - Nothing but two trainers
If all you have is a couple of trainer jets for a LSU flyover, its better not to have one.

Give me F-15s, FA/18s, F-16s, B1-Beez or stay at the base.
