Lemoore pilots to perform flyover at the Big Game

The U.S. Navy announced on Twitter that pilots from NAS Lemoore will be conducting a flyover at Hard Rock Stadium in South Florida on Sunday.

The Navy will not be using the Blue Angels for the big game but rather a pair of stealthy F-35s to fly with an F/A-18 Super Hornet and an EA-18G Growler.

One of the F-35s is a Marine Corps variant based in Beaufort, South Carolina, and the other is a Navy jet based at Naval Air Station Lemoore, as is the Super Hornet.

Commander Daniel Kitts out of Lemoore will fly the F-35C Lightning II.

The EA-18G Growler, flown by Lt Taylor Burgart and Lt Kali Billings, is based in Whidbey Island, Washington.
