In January and early February, an undisclosed variety of U.S. aircraft conducted strikes on ISIS sites in Syria in a mission dubbed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2026\/01\/11\/us-launches-retaliatory-strikes-against-isis-in-syria\/\" rel=\"\">Operation Hawkeye Strike<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even for the aircraft approved to conduct the Super Bowl flyover, Spencer stressed \u2014 as officials have done in the past \u2014 that the flyover represented training time for aircrews, and did not require additional taxpayer funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThese flyovers serve as time-over-target training for our crews,\u201d she said. \u201cThey serve as recovery efforts with our maintainers. And so the reason that we are so proficient at operations like Midnight Hammer and other things that you\u2019ll see is because we can replicate those real world scenarios with this type of flying.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To complete the formation, Spencer said, F-15s from Fresno Air National Guard Base, California, were tapped late in planning to join the flyover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur Guard members have stepped in to fill that role, and we\u2019re super grateful for that,\u201d Spencer added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With theming focused on the 250th anniversary of the United States, planners wanted to make the flyover unique and symbolic of the greatest of American airpower. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The B-1, known by its fans as \u201cthe Bone,\u201d was an easy choice to lead the formation, according to Spencer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe wanted a unique display of air power,\u201d she said. \u201cOur bombers are beloved by everybody, and they really replicate what it means to be time over target at a certain point. So it was a no-brainer to have bombers in this formation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The F-35Cs, the Navy\u2019s carrier landing-capable version of the Joint Strike Fighter, represent 5th-generation power; while the F\/A-18 and F-15 are also beloved and iconic jets, said Spencer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhile we have a lot of aircraft in our inventory, we thought that this would be the coolest formation,\u201d Spencer said. \u201cAnd the loudest.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the ground, a joint color guard dispatched from the Military District of Washington will render honors, involving the other services in the display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis prestigious inter-service team from the Capitol\u2019s region combining members from the Navy, Air Force, Army, Marines, Coast Guard, and Space Force provide unparalleled ceremonial precision and national representation,\u201d Navy officials said in a release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spencer said the flyover was the result of roughly a year of planning and coordinating with the National Football League, NBC broadcasters and Federal Aviation Administration, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The effect, she said, should be impressive \u2014 especially so because of the venue: Levi\u2019s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, home of the San Francisco 49ers. As it\u2019s a conventional stadium, rather than a dome, Spencer said the larger-than-typical flyover formation was possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAnd so I think the fans are really going to see something special, and they\u2019re going to hear something special,\u201d Spencer said. \u201cThey\u2019re going to feel the sound of freedom in the pits of their soul when this formation flies over.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To complete the formation, F-15s from Fresno Air National Guard Base, California, were tapped late in planning to
