Did anybody else notice how low the helicopters were? 

From my vantage point it looked like one of the helicopters had to pull up at the last minute to make it over the scoreboard!

As gusty as the wind was, I was surprised they were flying at all.  Looked like they cleared the north endzone  scoreboard by 15 feet.

 

Hog Fan...DOH!

Would be cool if they hovered over the 50 and had a few guys hot rope in with the game ball.

I saw that one too.  May have been the same game.  When they announced the name of the pilot over the stadium loudspeaker, I realized that my old drinking buddy from AFROTC at UA was now the aircraft commander in a B-2.  :o

The time the stealth flew over I was amazed at how slow it was going.

Yeah, put a military helicopter in the middle of 30K-70K fans and hope nothing goes wrong. Good idea.

Lmao.  Yes that last one looked like it was close to hitting it.  Talk about the cherry on top of the sundae of this abysmal season if he were to have hit it.  I would've just cackled laughing if it happened, assuming no one was injured of course.

You should see them time up the distance of sea state with the fluctuating height of the deck of and LHD carrier so Marines can fast rope onto said deck... Even better be one of the Marines fast roping out of that thing.

You've never been to a high school game with a helicopter landing on the field?  I'm thinking if the local emt pilot can do it, a military pilot can also.  It does get very windy when they get inside the "bowl"
Woooo Pig Soooie!

I understand Herb Tarlek was dropping turkeys from them whilst drinking from his Razorback mug.
To add a "sig line" or "signature line": Go to your "profile" then go to "modify profile" then scroll down to where it says "Signature" and type in what you want it to say and then click on "change profile". That's it, you're done. Your sig line will only show up on your first post on each page.

Landing and approaching to an OGE hover inside a stadium bowl are two entirely different things.

The Army would never accept the risk.

Hogville prediction formula:

1.  Insert bad news prediction. A loss, a recruit going elsewhere, a coach leaving, etc.
2.  Tag "hope I'm wrong," on the end.
3a.  Enjoy a correct prediction.
3b.  Act like you're relieved you're wrong and celebrate with everyone else.

I definitely don't know a thing about helicopters so I appreciate the insight.  I've been to a few big high school games where the game ball was brought in by helicopter, but they didn't hover and drop ropes like was stated earlier.  They landed on the 50 and walked out with the ball.

Ok so land at the 50 and deliver BB his pink slip.

I like the flyovers but we always lose the game when we do them.

Not always.

We had a flyover vs. New Mexico State this season.

We had flyovers vs. Ole Miss and Texas State last season:

They did, my seats are in the south end zone 11 rows up, and it was cold enough there.

Cool video! I guess the big games stick out the most in memory. Someone above talked about a stealth bomber at an Air Force game....I remember we had that as well (I may be mistaken on the specific game) for the Bama game in '10.

Im not saying they couldn't do it - pilots land on hospitals, boats, and about everything inbetween.  Im just staying, don't think its the safest idea to float above 50K people packed into an area just over 100m. Seems if something went wrong, it would be costly.

Sad there are more helicopters in the air than fans in the stands. Had to of been hard for CBB to run onto the field seeing the stands. "Crap, I'm going to lose equity in my new home!"  8)
