@@vryepic - he enlisted first, then after his first deployment with A10s came home, was offered an ROTC scholarship which led to pilot training and now this. They need pilots so definitely consider it!
That was the second time they passed over. First time was during the anthem and they were in finger four formation. That time they were in a line and in FULL AFTERBURNER! That's what made that second pass cool.
I was just to the right towards that other jet around turn 4. You can see that second jet pitch upward a bit as it passes. I swear I felt the heat of that burner going to work. Totally unexpected and 100% hype.
So this is the second year in a row they've done the second flyover to end Back Home Again. As a fan of the old tradition of balloons, I like this new one a lot
One of those pilots is MINE!!! Totally proud mom moment!!!
Would love to do what he does after college but you definitely should be a proud mama!
Sitting in turn 2, right over our heads. Big goosebumps! Please tell him thanks
@@kathywallace704 - will do! My husband and his brother were there at the race- such a thrill for them!! (I watched from home.)

So glad they didn’t make it all women pilots

That was so cool and unexpected
Flyovers never get old
The first flyover I saw it coming, though I didint see the 2nd one coming
Total surprise for us too, we were on turn 3 infield, by the time we saw the jets they were directly over us, love it
I didn’t see them coming until one was basically right on top of us it was incredible
And I live near the Base the F-16s are stationed at
Fing *AWESOME*

Did anyone else notice that one of the jets barely missed a cluster of balloons that day??

It is a worthy replacement and dare I say a much better replacement! Gets the blood pumping!
Did the same this year too. So cool, love it
