Mmmmmm, could be. It’s a short hop from Carswell.

The one they had when I was in attendance, which I believe was the first, was so low I felt as if I could have touched one of the jets. It was tremendously loud and the stadium shook. It is my understanding that after that there were complaints by the area residents as to the noise and I assume pictures falling off of walls from shaking. The next one we had, the planes went by so high that they could have been mistaken for jets landing at Love Field. I think the area folks spoke their minds and I feel like if there is one it will not be as spectacular as was the first one.

I remember that one. They came in about press box high.They came in so slow I had to wonder how they stayed in the air. Absolutely the best flyover ever.
They came around for for a second flyover and left with their after burners on which is what made it so loud.
This was all happening right after 9/11 which freaked the HP folks out.

Is there video of this?

What year what game?

I remember one, maybe 15 or 20 years ago. I was up on the roof, talking to one of the camera guys, and he said "turn around." I turned and saw a glow coming directly out of downtown, so low that it looked like it might hit GJF Stadium ... and I actually ducked.
I assume the camera guy is still laughing.

That would have been it because they quit allowing them to do it that low after that night.
