That's an unusual choice for a flyover. - JD Sep 8, 09:13 10
- OH! my favorite flyover was the paratroopers. That was very cool. -- nm - loosilu Sep 8, 09:34 2
  - My favorite flyover is during The Wall. -- nm - Spawn Sep 8, 09:34 1
    - :-D -- nm - mud Sep 8, 09:35
- The deceased person was a U2 pilot. -- nm - loosilu Sep 8, 09:32
- Maybe it's a really high flyover -- nm - Beryllium Sep 8, 09:14 5
  - Well, if they state it's going to be a high altitude pass, then maybe there's actually no flyover ;-) - JD Sep 8, 09:17 4
    - It's going to have to be visible to the people at the funeral -- nm - loosilu Sep 8, 09:33
    - It would be neat if they circled around at 80,000 feet, gradually descending to a flyover. - Beryllium Sep 8, 09:28 2
      - there's rules about that in DC airspace :) -- nm - loosilu Sep 8, 09:32 1
        
        They can just radio that they have vertigo and need to adjust their elevation. Or say that there's an electrical storm. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 8, 09:41
Speaking of flyovers, on two separate days at the beach we saw a P-51 and F-22 flying in formation along the coast (guessing out of McGuire AFB) - znufrii Sep 8, 09:08
