KANSAS CITY, MO. – When the U.S. Navy Blue Angels and the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds aren’t available, who does the National Football League call for a fly-over? General aviation, of course.
On October 7, 2012, several groups of RVs came together to make a 17-plane formation flyover at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri – home to the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs were playing the Baltimore Ravens that day.
The RV groups represented in the photo above are KC Flight, West Coast Ravens, Falcon Flight, Hawks, and Cincy River Rats. Each aircraft had custom-fabricated smoke canister holders for their wings and trailed pink smoke, as this was a Breast Cancer Awareness Flight. The group raised over $10,000, which went to the University of Kansas Hospital.
