How the Air Force Pulled Off the First-Ever Super Bowl Flyover with All 3 Bombers Air Force Global Strike Command bombers perform the Super Bowl LV flyover at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Fla., Jan. 7, 2021. (U.S. Air Force/Airman 1st Class Jacob B. Wrightsman) 11 Feb 2021 The U.S. Air Force has been flying the B-52H Stratofortress since before the NFL held the first Super Bowl in 1967, but this week, America s oldest bomber joined in a first-of-its-kind flyover to mark the start of the big game. The B-52H, which dates back to the early 1960s, had to keep in line with its B-1B Lancer and B-2 Spirit cousins over Tampa s Raymond James Stadium before the kickoff of Super Bowl LV. The flyover was timed perfectly as singers Jazmine Sullivan and Eric Church hit the final notes of the Star Spangled Banner thanks to coordinated efforts from the pilots, crew and ground liaisons, and other support aircraft.
