Where Was The Daytona 500 Flyover?
Where was the flyover? At almost every NASCAR Sprint Car race, there is a flyover by military aircraft but not for the Super Bowl of NASCAR? The last few years the Thunderbirds have done it, so why not this year. Newspaper reports said the Thunderbirds would do the flyover would, but not according to the U.S. Thunderbirds web site.

Was it a victim of budget cuts Was it because of the weather? Fox won't tell us.
So, what happened?
I was there and they say something about the airport was clogged up. If thats true or not I don't know. But yea that sucks.
ReplyDeleteI saw the Thunderbirds fly out of the Daytona airport on Saturday afternoon and they never returned. Not sure what happened, but I didn't hear about a clogged airport myself.
ReplyDeleteBS... the Thunderbird plane were there on Sunday... bad weather is all.
ReplyDeleteThey did a one pass flyover at Daytona last year in the pouring rain but this year the weather was bad?
