Nice, I saw the other day there will be a range of fighter aircraft doing a flyover, including a P-51. Nice to read more details about this particular pony.

 

My house is about 2 miles north of SoFi Stadium, so I plan to stand in my yard and watch for the flyover as it circles LA and then passes over the top of the stadium.

 

Hmmm, the solar panels on my roof could use a hosing down, maybe time to climb up there shortly before kickoff... ?

Apparently this is Hinton’s last flight as a Heritage Flight pilot.

Thanks for that link, looks like they may fly pretty much over the top of my house. Ah, my tax dollars at work!

This weekend's Super Bowl flyover will be one of a kind. A P-51 will be flanked by an F-35, F... -- Sent from Podcast Republic.
