Did anyone get video of the flyover from today's game?

Flight tracking available on FlightAware, either by airport tracking (DOV to BUF), or the flight designation 'MAFIA17'.  Flew back to Delaware last night.

 

Looks like the pilot did a flyover of Medina as well.  Surprising they laid over in Buffalo, as opposed to Niagara Falls.

I got a nice video of the flyover but several are already posted.  For those in the stadium at Noon, they did a practice flyover that was probably a couple hundred feet Lower than the game one. I couldn’t believe how low and quiet that thing was. It took up the entire stadium. It was definitely higher for the anthem.

C5 Galaxy from Niagara Air lift. 

Actually no. Niagara Falls reserve base Flys only the C-130 cargo aircraft.  I didn't see the tail number but it's either a Dover or Westover AFB aircraft.

 

It may have refueled at Niagara though.

 

FYI, I'm a former C-5 Crew Chief  :)

Did you fly them when they sounded better?  As a kid in the takeoff flight path, that was my favorite plane because you could hear the grinding engines coming from miles away!

I flew in them as a Crew chief in the late 80's , early 90's when the had the General Electric TF-39 engines.  They eventually transitioned to General Electric CF6-80C2-L1F (F-138).

 

The TF-39 had a nicer  more distinctive "Whine or howl".

 

I sure miss Fred.

They actually had three flyovers yesterday. One at noon, one at 12:30 and one at 12:59 during the national anthem. All were amazing to witness live.

I saw all but the last one lol.

Was still trying to get to my seat.

Glory, thank you for enlightening us, amd of course thank you for your service. We live in a free society, because of men like you.  Ask my wife as she was raised in China.  She was willing to do anything to get her kids out of China.  She appreciates more than many Americans our free society.
