Late change to Super Bowl flyover revealed
- Two F-22 Raptor stealth jets have been removed from the Super Bowl LX flyover due to unspecified "operational assignments" and an increased operational tempo.
- Katie Spencer, who coordinates the Department of the Air Force’s sports outreach programmes, confirmed the F-22s were reassigned for critical missions.
- F-22s have recently been involved in high-profile operations, including 'Operation Midnight Hammer' targeting Iranian nuclear facilities.
- Air Force officials state that these flyovers serve as practical training exercises for aircrews and maintenance teams, replicating real-world scenarios without requiring additional taxpayer funding.
- The revised Super Bowl LX flyover will now feature two B-1B Lancers, two F-15C Eagles, two F/A-18E Super Hornets, and two F-35C Lightning IIs, representing 250 years of American airpower.
