This weekend's Super Bowl flyover will be one of a kind. A P-51 will be flanked by an F-35, F-22, F-16, & A-10. Air Combat Command's (ACC) single-ship demo teams & USAF Heritage Flight Foundation will bring the sound of freedom to the SoFi Stadium for Super Bowl LVI.
A camera will live stream the formation from the cockpit of the P-51. It can be viewed here: https://www.facebook.com/USairforce
In this episode I talk with Steve Hinton and Lt Col Chris "Nike" McAlear. Steve will be leading the formation in a P-51 (Wee Willy). Steve has a few notches on his belt. He is a Reno Air Race champion, flown in airshows across the globe, and can be seen flying in numerous movies.
"Nike" will be part of the team linking the NFL and CBS to the formation. He is a former Strike Eagle pilot (don't hold that against him) and currently flies as an aggressor in the T-38, predominately against the F-22. Additionally, he is the outgoing Chief of ACC Aerial Events. His team is responsible for all demo teams in ACC.
