Overview
- The joint eight-aircraft formation is scheduled to cross Levi’s Stadium at the end of the national anthem today.
- Officials said increased operational tempo led to the Raptors’ removal, and they declined to specify the new missions.
- F-15C Eagles from the California Air National Guard’s 144th Fighter Wing stepped in; the final lineup is two B-1Bs, two F-15Cs, two F/A-18Es and two F-35Cs.
- Moffett Air National Guard Base served as the staging hub for rehearsals and outreach, with aircrews and maintainers set to be recognized during the game.
- The flyover is framed as precise time-over-target training funded by existing hours, and the F-22 silhouette on a commemorative patch reflects earlier planning for the first Air Force–Navy joint Super Bowl flyover.
