Heard from the TV announcers at the start of last week's FSU game that their flyover was done by MacDill AFB.

Now if they jetted up to Tallahassee for that bad team and game and they don't go ten miles North for ours, we got issues.

No excuses now that the weather is looking perfect for Saturday.

Anybody in the know?

When was the last time we had a flyover for a Bulls Game   ...... years ago?

I'm thinking they were going to parachute onto the field but it was too windy.

I don't recall an actual flyover since way back, like 2009 or so

That's also my recollection.

We have had parachute teams dropping onto the field many times over the years.

I don't recall any flyovers, but there may have been.

I don't think there has ever been a flyover.  Lots of parachute drop ins over the years.

Doesnt the school still pay for it? Would be cool to have a flyover.

I was under the impression that the government pays for it and flyovers are used for training purposes and help them meet the required flight hours.
