Super Bowl LV Flyover to Feature B-1B Lancer from South Dakota
South Dakota will have a little moment of spotlight on Super Bowl Sunday as the state will send one of its B-1B Lancers for the flyover.
This year s Super Bowl flyover will be conducted by the Air Force Global Strike Command. The flyover will feature a trifecta flyover that will take place over Raymond James Stadium towards the end of the national anthem.
The B-1B Lancer from Ellsworth Air Force Base will be showcased. Two other aircraft will join for the flyover including a B-2 Spirit from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri and a B-52 Stratofortress from Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota.
The B-1B was intended to deliver nuclear weapons to the Soviet Union. Fortunately, it never undertook that mission; instead, it ended up hunting insurgents in Afghanistan and firing cruise missiles at nearly abandoned Syrian air bases.
