Air Force May Discipline Pilots In Football Flyover

Four Jets Took Part In Iowa/Ohio State Pre-Game Display

The Air Force is still making a determination as to whether to discipline four pilots who participated in a pre-game flyover before the November 20th Iowa/Ohio State football game in Iowa City.

An Air Force spokeswoman said that the incident is still under review. The Associated Press reports that the jets were observed flying at an altitude that appeared to be only slightly higher than the press box and score board, which is 137 feet tall. Air Force rules stipulate an altitude of 1,000 feet over the highest object a populated area that is within 2,000 feet of the aircraft.

The flyover involved four T-38C Talons, according to a December report in the Des Moines Register. The Air Force does make allowances for a waiver of the 1,000 foot rule which lowers the floor to 500 feet. No waiver was reportedly issued for the Nov. 20 event.
