The Kansas City Chiefs football team was playing the Las Vegas Raiders in Kansas City. You may recall that when Obama was president he had eliminated patriotic military flyovers at large events.
So recently, a group of men in Kansas City who do some formation flying in their own planes, decided they'd volunteer to save this beautiful tradition and pick up the slack.
They invited a couple of other groups to join them and before they knew it, they had 48 men with their own airplanes signing up to join in. If they had more time, they probably would have gotten an even larger group as people kept joining and a 49th was added near the kickoff.
Be sure your speakers are turned up. Best if you watch at 'full screen'... pretty impressive and it makes you proud to be an American.
The TV networks did not show this because they are not allowed to show anything that reaffirms our national identity. The reaction from the people though, is a whole different story.
PS: The formation is fantastic, especially with SO many planes….all former Naval Aviators….!!!

Very cool guess I never knew that. Good for them 👍
That was friggin awesome !
I've been a Chiefs fan since they came to KC, (remain totally loyal... though I moved 2000 miles away 38 years ago) love the fan base and their loyalty and enthusiasm, each and every home game. Arrowhead Stadium (sorry... never going to call it "GEHA Stadium" ever !) is a marvelous venue and back in my interior designer days, I had the pleasure of designing and furnishing a suite there, for a law firm in the early '80's. The noise is absolutely deafening, especially for an open-air stadium, when the fans get going strong.....as they were no doubt doing in the video. Of course, a game against the "hated" Raiders brings out the extreme fervor even further..... hehehe.
Can't say that I have ever seen such a flyover with that many planes.... just stellar in that blue sky !
Thanks for sharing and showing another facet of "Defending the Kingdom" !
(Here's to hoping the Chiefs gave the Raiders a good whipping that day 😁 !)
