As you know, budget cuts have eliminated the military flyovers at large events. Well, there's a group of guys in Kansas City who do some formation flying, in their own planes, and decided they'd volunteer to pick up the slack. They invited a couple of other groups to join them and before they knew it they had 48 guys with their airplanes signing up to join in.


If they had more time, they probably would have gotten an even larger group as people kept joining and a 49th was added near the event. One additional feature of the FLYOVER was the use of pink smoke for cancer awareness.


The folks from the Guinness Book were there and are expected to confirm it as the largest formation flight ever. And to top it off , the crowd later set the record for the loudest gathering at a football stadium. Be sure your speakers are turned up... best if watch at 'full screen'.

That is absolutely awesome Bill. It certainly deserves some recognition. Thats quite an incredible feat to get all of those planes in one location to do a formation flight.

Shows such as ... Oshkosh, Sun-N-Fun, Military Aviation Museum...etc, have some really interesting aircraft in numbers. But they're usually on static display, or doing small formation flights.

Thanks for sharing that sir!

Really neat video , thanks for sharing.

Awesome!
