Reminds me of the time the Air Force pilot went way too close over Kinnick for Ohio State game in 2010. Was deafening. Guys lost their wings.

IOWA CITY, Iowa -- The Air Force says six pilots who participated in a spectacular flyover before an Iowa football game have been disciplined for flying too low and too fast. The lead pilot is giving up his right to fly military aircraft. The Air Force says the four Talon T-38 Trainer jets flew just 16 feet above the stadium's press box when they wowed 70,000 fans inside Kinnick Stadium before More.. Iowa hosted Ohio State on Nov. 20. The jets also approached speeds of 400 knots during both the flyover and practice runs the day before. The limit is 300 knots. Col. Russell Mack is commander of the 71st Flying Training Wing. He says while he understands fans attending the game enjoyed the flyover, the rules are meant to insure safety.

Pic from press box. shite was so loud.

I think the closest I’ll come to that was at Bama ‘05.

The KC-135 looked like it was gonna crash into something (I was in upper decks and there were cranes around)and the flanking fighters hit burners over the stadium.

I was too! We were front row of the upper deck and it felt like we were looking into his cockpit.

I was fricking eating my nachos (yes during the national anthem, frick you I was hungry ).

Then a hear a crowd roar and look up to see an airliner sized craft look like it was going Right. For. Me. Keep in mind this is just a few years after 9/11. I considered shitting my pants for a few seconds lol.
