Three different Air Force Global Strike Command bombers will conduct a first-of-its-kind trifecta flyover during the National Anthem performance at Super Bowl LV on February 7 over Raymond James Stadium in Tampa.

A news release says the bomber flyover will feature:
– B-2 Spirit from Whiteman Air Force Base in Knob Noster;
– B-1B Lancer from Ellsworth AFB in South Dakota; and
– B-52 Stratofortress from Minot AFB in North Dakota.

The B-2, which will be piloted by Maj. Dan “Tusk” Ecklebe and Capt. Sarah “Gucci” Kocuiba, will join up for the flyover, and return to base following the event.

The U.S. Air Force performs close to 1,000 flyovers a year. These flyovers done are at no additional cost to the taxpayer and serve as fully-functional training missions for pilots, maintainers and ground-control teams.
