That Fly By was LOW

and in complete darkness! Dang!

Cool that they had No. 1's cockpit cam on the big screen during the run-in when the national anthem was still playing.

Thanks Tomcat

I agree with LD, it was dark and yes they flew low and fast.

I modified my video to have just the flyby and replayed it in slow motion for those who want to redownload it.

LOL Hollywood and crew look a bit wet! At least they were standing in the right end zone! Just the wrong result!

Nice video there Tomcatboy. And some great pics too. I watched the Super Bowl that night over here in England and I had loads of friends watching as well. They saw the TBs fly over and one was like "Whoa, those guys were flying pretty close, who are they?" I just came in with "The USAF Thunderbirds". For some reason they all stared at me like I was some kind of obsessive. Hey, at least I know who they are.
