Sounds like they are high and slow for a flyover

Those were the days. I remember a 2 ship FB-111 flyby at about 100’ / 150’ and about 500kts. Today they’d try to throw you in jail for that.

For those with access, check out the BaseOps Intellipedia page on SIPRNET for the CCIR...

I left my SIPR phone in the seat back pocket on my last Southwest flight, can you just add me to the Signal group and drop the report there?

Combat (strafe/show of force is flyby-ish) only nowadays…too bad.

This certainly doesn't help the situation...

Was it over a USAFA football game?

Basically as expected. For those without tokens, the CCIR is DAF unclass…should be easy to get the deets.

At a Bills game. Sadly I was watching and not flying. I was a tanker guy at the Burgh.

LOL, the guys from Pease had their shtick (sts), and that was it.
