Is there anyway to put together a compilation video of all the flyovers for this season? I was at the tcu/air force game and they had a flyover w/ 4 f22's, I think. Two of the pilots were Ags since one of them gave a Gig'em & showed his ring. The tcu fans were amazed w/ a flyover. Doesn't happen much.

Cool helicoptors but the only way I like the helo flyover is when someone is jumping out of them (like Army a few years back...that was pretty sweet). I'm a sucker for the fighters. I don't see how you couldn't get pumped up to play with a couple of those bad boys screaming by right before kickoff.

Here are some pics from our day at Easterwood:

My little boy and I. He had been saying "copter, copter" over and over again:

I've since gotten a haircut, and lost 30 pounds.

They're not as comfortable as they look.

They weren't kidding about the hydraulic fluid



They assured me he couldn't start it up

I'm told this provides a hell of a view while in flight

Tried to capture an idea of how long this thing is on the inside

This guy was cool, spent a lot of time with mother in law and my son, and we all loved his helmet


Uploading a few more.

Rest of the family off to lunch, they aren't that far away from the helo, this thing is huge












Tight fit


But equipped with the latest in instrumentation




Was really happy to have my family with me



Very thankful to have met such a fine group of people.

Thank you sir for all that you and your men, women, and families do for all of us:

Hope that's not a frequency above the instrument panel...

great pics!!!! My kids go nuts when the 'copters (as they too call them) fly over our house.

Surely that's just a putzing around Aggieland frequency, if that's what it is.

Looking forward to seeing these guys fly today.

Flyovers should only consist of fighter jets--everything else is a joke

Your mom's a joke.

Many years ago an Apache came to Kyle. It hovered where the Bright Complex is now and just kind of showed off a bit while the voice over man talked about it. Then it flew over. I thought that was pretty cool.

They're up circling South CS, getting ready to head your way

BECAUSE IT'S GAMEDAY MOTHER ****ERS!!!1111

Here they come.

twas awesome

782.86 is not a frequency.

Headed to Kyle:


Back to CLL after the fly over.

The turns they did to get lined up on the runway elicited a lot of "whoa"s from those out at the airport:

Awesome pics.

Pics were awesome! Thanks for sharing!!

edit- oh, and apologies for the video quality, it was on a cell phone. Also started a little early, jump to the 0:30 mark.

Went out with another texags poster this morning and got to see them before they left. (pics later) My 5yo was very impressed. Sat in the pilot's seat and everything. One of them even gave him his unit patch right off his uniform. Just pulled it off and told him to keep it. He was so proud. Good bull from those guys too. He said they did the flyover at about 115 knots and 1000 feet. Looked and felt a lot lower than that.

Mom, have you uploaded last night's halftime performance?

Working on it now, Bonfire96 (took Grandma11 to her first game last night and it was AWESOME... she's been talking about it all day today!)

Didn't have the opportunity to make it to the game but still got my own flyover...Nothing like having a Russian Hind attack chopper land in your backyard!



Got to be crazy rich to purchase this thing and maintain it in flying status. I was told me it saw action in the Russian invasion of Afghanistan.

It was an awesome sight!

My wife's brother inlaw was one of the pilots of the flyover that was from A&M. They said they had the time of thier life while they were down and loved the game. We have some pics and videos that I will post or post a link to them.

Some of the guys took videos from the helicopter during the flyover. I am sure we will see the videos sometime soon.

If you didnt notice there was an A&M flag flying on the rear of the west most helicopter during the flyover.

Cool Helo!

Some vids below. If someone wants to create a shortcut or post the video on here have at it.

Wow. Some bad*** pictures on here!

My friend and former buddy from C-2 class of '04 flew the helicopter on the left. It was a very proud/awesome moment! He posts on Texags occasionally and was the one who introduced me to it.

PUTU-

Capt Cahill contacted me and asked for a copy of my flyby video. Can you send me a copy of your two links above so I can send those to her as well?

I will never forget the Blackhawk flyover during gulf war 1. 18 of them puppies headed towards Houston to get on a ship. That was during the game, they had to take a TV timeout while they came across.

Does anyone remember the game from a number of years ago, possibly during the 1st Gulf War, when the Apache's came in Very Low and over Lot C (before Netum Steed expansion) and basically came in over the score board and hovered in front of it for playing of the National Anthem and then when it was over, they basically "put the choppers in reverse" and backed out Kyle Field. That was awesome.

We had a blast doing the flyover. Special thanks to JamesAg96 who bought the A&M flag and left it at the hotel for me to fly on my aircraft. Hope everyone enjoyed the flyover. We all had an incredible time. Things really couldn't have gone better. Not only was our timing good (I sweated that quite a bit!), but the aircraft didn't have any issues, the weather was great, the game was one of the best I have ever been to at Kyle Field and we spent the 2nd half on the sidelines! Honestly though, the best part was the ability to show 10 of my friends the Aggie Spirit. Most knew little to nothing about us, but came away huge Aggie fans. I wouldn't be surprised to see a couple applications from some of the young Marines some day. They asked me and the other Aggie a millions questions about Aggieland, and when they saw it in action during the game, were hooked. Special thanks to the 12th Man! Gig 'em
