That is likely, considering they are using V-22 Ospreys!!!

Well I hope they have some great backup generator instead. Don't want to have the same problem like last time.

I think they'll work extra hard to make sure nothing like that happens again. I know some Niners fans that still blame that outage for their loss.

that is good to know. No one seems to point that out. That was embarrassing when that happened. As far as the Niners fan, the Raven was winning and blowing out the Niners before the lights went off. they should of be thankful for that to happen.

I was coming to say something similar....beat me to it sir!

Four F18s would be so much more impressive

I’d rather the F-35B’s the Marines now have.

I’m just impressed with their flyover timing in general. It seems every flyover at every event flyover is perfectly timed to the end of the anthem

Ospreys are no more unsafe than any other aircraft in the military. Its early life gives it its reputation, but it’s actually a great aircraft. Source? I have more than a few friends who are crew chiefs on them from my time in the Marines.
I’ve also flown in them and do not hesitate to do so.

Anyway, flyovers of an enclosed stadium is freaking dumb.

As a former Marine, I would like the Faux-Patriotism displays to be discontinued! A flyover of a dome stadium is foolish & a HUGE waste of $$. The DOD also pays the NFL to perform the anthem & have that huge flag rolled out. How many fans at home do you know that stand & place their hand over their hearts(a salute by a civilian is inappropriate)? I know ONE! Hell, most, at the game, don't even stop talking, buying dome foam or in waiting in line at the head, during the anthem. Forget about the masses that don't even know the words(including the famous spectator today, who has already shown he doesn't).
A blimp over NOLA showing pictures during a game w/commentary is even more ridiculous.

The biggest problem w/the Osprey is media coverage! Nobody had a clue how many Hueys had mechanical issues in Vietnam, because there wasn't 24/7 media blitz. I'm old & rode plenty of Hueys, but the Osprey certainly looks like a far superior platform!

Saw a video about that recently. Sounds like its lack of reliability is pretty overstated. Some pretty cool machines regardless.

There will be two F-35's in the flyover.
