Shea Stadium Fly Over Sat?

[Gerard]

Was there a fighter jet flyover of Shea Stadium Sat (19) before the
ball game? Was out all day but caught a brief clip with the sound down later that evening. It was "Armed Forces" Day so I guess that would be the reason.

Check out this thread - they had 2 F-18s. Phil & Mel were there and uploaded a video of the flyby:

Cool video. Thanks. They flew out of LGA?

I forget where they came from, but they came from the base directly I believe. They then landed at LGA afterwards.

Tonight they left LGA under cover ogf dark but we knew she was there. (Duh) It was great. It sounded like a rocket ship. I could see nothing but bright blue after burners and they were off in about 1600 feet of runway. It was a blast. The tower rattled.
