If you didn't know that Steve Hinton led 2 A-10's and an F-16 in a heritage flight over the Super Bowl National Anthem, you sure couldn't tell from the video.

I never do understand having a fly over for games inside stadiums, or the blimp circling overhead...

But having the Medal of Honor recipients on hand for the coin toss was a very nice touch.

Yeah - I did like the CMH guys. Also love the comments in the amateur videos. “Holy sh**, is that cool!”

Can’t tell if that was Wee Willy or if he borrowed a local ride. Fagen’s maybe?

Not sure if this will require login for those who don't have FB. I haven't seen the video on YouTube but you may keep an eye out there as well.

Some photos from the USAF Heritage Flight Foundation Facebook page (this was from practice day).

And some photos of the flyover formation (by Nick Halseth):

Although the Minnesota Vikings stadium is enclosed, a good portion of the roof is actually translucent, as is a whole side/wall section.

Video worked fine for me as a nonFB user. My favorite parts are seeing the shadow of SSII cast on the starboard A-10 fuselage. Awesome!

I thought this video from youtube was pretty good, and was surprised you could hear the Merlin very well.
