Lemoore pilots to perform flyover at the Big Game
“The Navy will not be using the Blue Angels for the big game but rather a pair of stealthy F-35s to fly with an F/A-18 Super Hornet and an EA-18G Growler.”
“The EA-18G Growler, flown by Lt Taylor Burgart and Lt Kali Billings, is based in Whidbey Island, Washington.”
The US Navy, US Marine Corps, US Air Force and Air National Guard have impressive aircraft stationed all over the US.
The various games where military flyovers are scheduled are played in various locations. Wondering why pre-game flyovers may involve aircraft from distant bases, instead of tasking those stationed closer.
NAS Whidbey might be the base farthest away from Miami Gardens, FL.
