With the NFL season, football becomes all-consuming on Sunday's which for many fans means watching the pregame show. One of the Pre-Game events is the fly over, hopefully in sync with the ending of the National Anthem. This film is an inside look at how the fly over works and how it's planned far in advance by many personnel. Flyover is a term widely used in the United States. The Commonwealth, United Kingdom, and other countries use the term Flypast to denote ceremonial or honorific flights by groups of aircraft and, rarely, by a single aircraft. Flyby mostly refers to military situations.) Flyovers are often tied in with sporting or state events, anniversaries, celebrations - and occasionally funerary or memorial occasions. Sometimes flyovers occur in special situations, to honor someone or to celebrate certain types of aircraft. They have affinities with parades, of which they form the aerial component. Often they occur in purely display contexts at airshows, but it is the flyover linked with civic, sporting events, ceremonial and national pride, that imprint themselves on a nation's memory. These spectacular and daring displays of military - and occasionally passenger - aircraft, are described in broadcast and print media as "historic". Flyovers are regularly featured in public and ceremonial life at sproting events, where they function as a particular kind of aerial salute. They serve to show respect, display aircraft, showcase flying skills and delight the public. In Commonwealth countries, notably Singapore, Canada and Australia, they occur on national days and occasionally on anniversaries. They are seen more rarely in other territories.
