US Air Force Removes Limits on 2018 Stadium Flyovers

The Air Force’s “2018 Aerial Events Policy” removes limits on flyovers at NFL and MLB games and allows for more flyovers at college and other sports events.

The flyovers had been curtailed because of a Defense Department spending cap that forced units to reduce the amount of time military planes spend in the air.

The cap was loosed in February — good news for recruiters who face a tough job amid a chronic pilot shortage and stiff competition from a booming private sector. – Stars and Stripes
