    Meadowlands Fly Over

    For Veterans Day at Giants Stadium I believe it was two F-18s. Fox showed a quick shot during the game.

    Don't know if it were the same ones, but there were three pairs of either F-18's or F-15's over Paramus on Veteran's Day. I don't think I'll be able to get any information on them.

    Re: Meadowlands Fly Over

    I was there, in section 337 as the Anthem begun. It was the first flyover at a stadium I've ever been part of. I hadn't known there was a flyover scheduled so it was a welcome surprise. It gave me goosebumps! One of the SuperBugs was the CAG bird, they flew over in a loose formation, without burner. It was worth it, to hear people's reactions within the crowd. After they flew by, I saw them circle for a landing at what I could only guess was Newark Airport. If this was last year, I coulda caught some F-14D's, oh well. Good stuff!

    Maybe two years ago. The last Tomcat flight was in March of '06.

    I just meant '06, wiseguy. I didn't mean exactly 365 days ago.

    A posting on a milcom forum gave FELIX 11, a flight of 2, including 166776, which is the CAG bird. They took off from Dobbins, oddly enough (Oceana-based), cleared for Teterboro.
