There's going to be a flyover of an F/A-22 during the Rose Bowl game on
January 1, along with an F-117 and a B-2.

Does anyone know at what time they are to occur?

The half time show was the only thing that I wanted to see. Did I step out
for the one minute that they showed the flyby? I hope someone was able to
save the vid, if there was anything to save. Regards, Chris

Not that it matters now, except for the recording, but the fly-over
was of the Rose Parade, right at the beginning. There was another
fly-over, by two Army or Marine helicopters, later in the parade, as
well. I didn't see any fly-over of the game itself and I was
watching.

NBC's coverage of the parade had some tight shots of the formation -
very pretty. As the plane is not operational, I was surprised to
see it in something as trivial (sorry) as a parade flyby.

How many F/A 22's are there currently? Is it still set to become
operational in late 2005 or is it a gradual induction into the
inventory / operations?
