Brits React to The Flyover: America's Greatest Pregame Tradition 

Our military are our friends, neighbors, and family... past, present, and future. We stand behind each other.

When the Stealth Bomber flies over you don't hear it until it has passed out of the stadium. It's sneaky. Very awe inspiring when you see one.

I love the flyovers. I can't speak for other Universities but at Nebraska they'll bring the pilots in and introduce them after half time. They get cheered as loud as the football team.

The flyover is an adrenaline boost before a game. Regardless of which team you are cheering for watching the military flyover always gets you going when you are attending.

As an American born and bred. 11 generations born and bred. We absolutely love everything about Our Country. That being said. I live in Denver, Colorado. I used to live just north of Mile High Stadium. My Broncos stadium. When I wasn’t at the games. I had the honor of them flying over my house as well! So dope! I’d go stand out in my yard, anthem from the tv playing full blast. Standing in my yard with my hand on my heart. And seeing the flyovers live. Amazing. Love it!

As a former Army attack helicopter pilot with combat experience who now flies jets, great reaction! Timing in aviation, whether combat or civilian, is crucial!

These flyovers are not just the NFL. College sports has them more often than the pros since 9/11. It's more significant for the military to get to practice the level of precision required to get that Time on Target thing right. These young people don't generally fly low and slow over populated areas. Having the bases in close proximity to events means some people enjoy multiple sorties per season. It is pretty special, and I get it. Thanks for watching.

1:35 Northrop B-2 Spirit Just call it the B-2 Bomber. The Northrop B-2 Spirit, also known as the Stealth Bomber, is an American heavy strategic bomber, featuring low-observable stealth technology designed to penetrate dense anti-aircraft defenses. A subsonic flying wing with a crew of two, the plane was designed by Northrop (later Northrop Grumman) as the prime contractor, with Boeing, Hughes, and Vought as principal subcontractors, and was produced from 1987 to 2000.[1][3] The bomber can drop conventional and thermonuclear weapons,[4] such as up to eighty 500-pound class (230 kg) Mk 82 JDAM GPS-guided bombs, or sixteen 2,400-pound (1,100 kg) B83 nuclear bombs. The B-2 is the only acknowledged in-service aircraft that can carry large air-to-surface standoff weapons in a stealth configuration.

My son got to fly in the back seat of an F-18 during a flyover. It was over a Cardinals game at State Farm Stadium in Glendale/ phoenix Arizona.

Europeans might be surprised to find out that the US Military is one of the major sponsors for the NFL. They run ads in football games, for recruiting. The NFL actually gets paid to air all of that patriotic military stuff like flyovers, and the huge flag, etc.

Thank You Richard. From a son of a WWII vet. He gave a chance at life. And honor him ALLWAYS.. GRIN!!!!

I`ve seen 2 fly overs and cried both times, so much pride in my country.

B-2 Spirit Bomber!

College, nfl and I was at the Austin formula 1 event and they had a flyover. Typically happens for big games.

That wasn’t a falcon, it was a Bald Eagle, the symbol of our country. 🙂 I love that you like our country. I hope you get a chance to come visit.

They fly over at the exact end of the National Anthem.. Have to be precise ❤❤❤

To see this in person is the biggest kick in the pants you can imagine. I have seen a couple of flyovers and was completely awe struck each time, and yes I am a US Army vet and it still gets to me. I LOVE my country.

WE love our military, for all the things they sacrifice for us!

I've been involved in several statium fly-overs. The coordination for timing the national anthem is insane. It is a geat honor to be involved in this production.

The best flyovers are at the Air Force Academy football games vs the Army And Navy games. It’s like an air show with a football game as a bonus.

They also have flyovers at Nascar races and my favorite which is the NHRA Drag racing event!!!

The American military is all volunteer. They are our neighbors, dads, sons, moms, wives. Whatever Americans do, the folks in service do it too.

I get goosebumps and break down into tears at the national anthem! 🫡💯🇺🇲 I'm so proud to be an American!

The flyover always happens right after the final note starts playing of the national anthem🎉

You're always welcome here in America! Much love❤

That is a stealth bomber.

I live 5-10 minutes from a navy base & let me tell you it literally shakes our house sometimes hearing those jets. I can only imagine living on the base

The look she gave you when she says "can't wait to visit" 🇺🇸 Love your reactions!

There's a story about a boy startled by the planes, asked his dad what's that sound? Dad said, "That's the sound of freedom son"!

I don’t know about every college but at Texas A&M we had a fly over every game and 9 times out of 10 there was a former student in formation. They pilots would then come on the fields at half time to be recognized by the 100,000+ people in attendance. Loved it, miss it.

As a Military Veteran I always salute the flyover even if im walking in the park and i see jets training. The saying once a Soldier always a Soldier is the truth.

Remember that all jets start with a letter. A stands for ‘attack’ (A-10), F stands for ‘fighter’ (F-22) and B stands for ‘bomber’ (B-2). Just a fun fact. Love your reactions, you are a lovely couple. I’m glad we are allies. Hi from Houston, TX! ♥️

I have seen this before, but that scene of the jets appearing over the top of the grandstand as the “freeeeeeeeee” is ringing out makes me tear up every time

I live about 3-5 miles from the University of Notre Dame "the Fighting Irish". And when they have a flyover for the game, they fly past my house on the way out of town....so i see them all the time. I see a 10's, f22's, f15s, bombers. It's pretty sweet.

B2 bomber

7:04 "That falcon." 😂 That's a bald eagle. The symbol of the United States of America

I live in Omaha and got the privilege of seeing a B-2 stealth bomber fly by from my dad's back yard headed to the airbase. From the side it looked like a thin line in the sky.

The two bombers in the vid was the B2 Stealth and a B52. Those were A10's that flew over Soldier Field.

I went to an air show this past weekend, and the B-2 was added to the performance just a week before the show. At about 10 minutes before 1:00 the announcer said the B-2 will fly over soon. Knowing the jet is flying from Whiteman AFB on the other side of the state, I concluded it would fly over center runway at exactly 1:00PM to the second. Yep, nailed it.

I was at a stadium when a stealth helicopter just appeared. We didn't hear it until we saw it. It was startling and awesome at the same time.

B2 bomber going over the Rose Bowl. Unforgettable! Also, F15's over Autzen Stadium in Eugene, Oregon. Awesome!

This is fantastic! I'm Canadian, and I tear up watching these flyovers.

Our states National Guard does flyovers for the state high school football championship

The one they are planning is in Chicago. You can tell (before they even say) by the curve of the lake. Beautiful city.

Best flyover is at an Air Force home football game - low and loud and showing off for their buddies!

It chokes me up every time.

That Stealth Bomber looks super scary flying. Just imagine what it looks like on the ground.

You guys are really introspective, great conversation and reactiom, imma have to check out more of your vids _🩵🩵🩵_

As has already been said below, both college and pro games have flyovers. However, this one was an NFL game. By the way, Soldier's Field is the home of the Chicago Bears. You combine the flyovers with the national parks, and there's a lot for which to be proud.

Another exciting start to a football game is when they have a Bald Eagle soar during the anthem

I am loving your channel and both of your reactions to the content. You Brits are our brothers and sisters in this mad mad mad world, and we appreciate knowing you have our backs and we have yours. I hope the both of you can make it here to the USA and you will be welcomed with open arms❤ If you can come, I hope your planned trip is all that you hope it could be and even more. Thank you so much for taking the time to post your very cool and interesting reaction videos. Sending much love to you both ❤👍 all the way from Sacramento, California! 🇬🇧🇺🇲🍻

Glad to have the UK as our ally....

I see them everyday. I live next to an active airbase. One that actually has the largest fleet of domestic f-35s. They fly them daily and they are loud and wonderful.

The SR-71 did a mach-3 flyby at 80,0000 feet over my birthday party in 1989. Got three sonic BOOMS out of em...

Flyovers can happen for both Football and Baseball, at least for open air stadiums, and stadiums with a retractable roof. National anthem plays at most sporting events.

Funny looking at that map when he mentioned Lake Pointe Tower off to the right. It looks so little and squatty in the perspective but it's actually a 70 story condo building.

Im a vet. Very proud to see your reactions.

Some countries have big military parades with tanks, all sorts of artillery and troops to show off their military power. The us does flyovers because 1 b2 spirit can decimat their entire parade.

Love your videos!! As an American, can't wait for you to come visit us!!!! ❤🤍💙

Look up "missing man formation". Many of the flyovers are in that formation.

Believe it or not - not as constant - but we do have fly overs at college games too! Ohio State does them for special games such as rivalry or homecoming, senior day etc.. They are breathtaking! And ear popping! Amazing

"Destiny in the Desert" The 2001 World Series (MLB) took place 6 weeks after 9/11...The New York Yankees Vs. The Arizona Diamondbacks

I like your guy’s honesty! Everyones countries are f… up when it come politics,rules,taxes,healthcare,racism and just overall intolerance! I’m from Albuquerque, NM and married to my husband for 25 years who is from Pawtucket, RI. We are 54 and are from completely different cultures but are soul mates. Despite what state,culture,religion, or color you are in 2024. …. most Americans don’t care! We were born with this love your neighbor and help everyone succeed because it comes back to you! But we are very protective of our family, believe in life, and our country … I have and as most Americans always give respect to you British! I’m fascinated by your strong culture and history! Actually, we are planning from flying from Tampa,FL ( lived here for 25 years) for 5 day trip to England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿! I watch reaction videos all the time. Do you guys feel like your losing your culture in your own country.?

well I have been to several foot ball games since the 1980's, several baseball games, and I have yet to ever personally experience a fly over, so its is very rare but feels like its always happening haha

They hit the Afterburners sometimes. It is explosive. Time to see some great football.

there is youtube video of the flyover done for the NFL game in London by the F-15s out of Lakenheath...you should check it out. I hope you all come over to the US sooner rather than later, and feel welcomed beyond belief when you get here.

There are videos on RU-vid with the Blue Angels flying over MLB baseball stadiums while the games are in progress. They are doing their show a few miles away and one of two jets will fly over the stadium as they set up for the next show maneuver. They surprise everybody, announcers, players, and fans. A few times the planes show up just as the pitcher releases the ball. Scares the heck out of the batter.

They do send your adrenline up. It is like when you are shooting and you feel the pressure in your chest

There is NOTHING louder than when a flyover is coming at the end of the Star Spangled Banner!!

In the A-10's hud it literally said Bears game.

The flyovers are great recruiting tools for the military.

My dads favorite flyover was in Vietnam when they dropped the bombs on the enemy in the bunker he said don’t put your head on bunker wall or you eardrums will get blown and you’ll get at least a concussion

I've only ever seen a stealth bomber once and it was September 12, 2001. i believe being patriotic about your country is not a bad thing, everything in moderation. with that i do believe that some other countries would benefit from patriotism, again everything in moderation. much love from Maryland! xo

That was the B-2 Bomber...One BILLION DOLLARS APIECE!

They also parachute into football games here in the Southeastern region of the U.S

I live in El Mirage, Arizona about two miles from the end of the runway at Luke Air Force Base and 5 miles from the Phoenix stadium. Every time there is a Cardinals home game or a Super Bowl (there have been 4) at the stadium the fly over team of F-16's or F-35's take off and fly over our house before and after the flyover. Very cool. T. Boyte GySgt. USMC, retired Vietnam 1965-66/1970-71

Flyovers are actually a pretty effective training exercise for the military, as well. Whether it's in a combat situation, training exercise over a military base, or flying over a stadium on game day, being over Point X at time YY:YY doesn't change much in the planning. Pretty sure it goes a little deeper than the little we see in the video.

the flyover is one of the air force's best recruiting tools.

I cant wait for you guys to come on over; I really want to see Fats reaction to Terry Blacks barbeque, she might even start crying

A pure adrenaline Rush every time you see a fly over

While most folks believe this is all done for the American football players and fans, the military (Especially the pilots) get a lot of benefit from it also. When you're a fighter pilot, you need to stay proficient and keep up your flight time/hours. Doing flyovers like this, and air shows, provides the pilots with the flight time they need. It also helps with combat planning, by needing to be at a certain place, at a certain exact TOT (Time On Target). The fans get what they like, while the military gets what it needs. A win-win combination!

I love your channel. You guys are so cool! By the way the UFO looking craft is the B-2 Spirit Bomber. 🙂

This is not a collage game, this is the Vikings and Broncos pro teams.

I have a video from a couple weeks ago on page….Thunderbirds Flyover practice at Indy500 race

The military gets solid oractice out of it too. Practicing to the second precision timing. Dealing with dense urban areas and often international airport traffic. Its great for them. And fun too. College games get the flyovers too depending. Local universities in my area have an AFB north that houses the F35 Demo squadron so we get a lot of F35 flyovers. Have had F16s and had the Blue Angels once intheir F18s. Out in MO they get the B2 spirit steal bomber often as their home base is there. The power those jets have is unbelievable. And to have them scream overhead so low is amazing. The onlybthing that beats it is going to an Air show on an Aor Force Base, going inside the big planes and watching the jets even lower doing stunts and stuff. Amd the infamous sneak pass.

The only university that has these regularly, to my knowledge, is the Air Force Academy, which makes sense when you think about it.

If you like those! seek out videos of our presidential air force formation with fighter protection fly over

that a B2 Spirit, closest thing on earth to a grim reaper.

Flyovers of stadiums by military aircraft are quite common in the USA.

The specific formation they are using in most of these, is the missing man formation, intended to look like one of the jets is missing. They do it to honor veterans.

I am active duty Air Force, and every time that our planes fly, that is part of the pilots training and getting flight hours in to keep their certifications. Even the planning is training for them. So it’s a win-win situation, people get a good show and our pilots get some training.

Thank you 🙏 great 👍 reaction about ✈️fly over ❤👏👏👏✈️✈️✈️

you can youtube a video where helicopters pretty much flew inside the Titans stadium in 2021 for a flyover

Absolutely True... Difference set aside, we live free, or Devided... I hope Everyone is entitled to make their own choices!!! And support ALL that choice FREE WILL

I’m surprised y’all didn’t notice the warthogs

I'm sure someone has already said that 7:05 was an American Bald Eagle.

It can be scary in person if you don’t know it’s coming.

It is the B-2 Spirit stealth bomber

You should check out some fly over compilation videos, would be cool to see

To be in the stands as this happens is unreal
