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

The original message was in error. The flyover was to have been, and was,
during the Rose Parade.

Except that they *did* show the planes flying over during the pregame
show.

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?

The F-22 lives just over the San Gabriels, though, no distance at all.
It's not as if it came from somewhere far away. EDW is probably only
50 miles from Pasadena, maybe less, by air.

I know that we always worried about the HiMAT (Highly Maneuverable
Aircraft Technology, a subscale research vehicle capable of 0.9 Mach)
escaping from remote-piloting control and zipping over the San
Gabriels to Pasadena because it's so close. So much so, in fact, that
we put a backup control into the back seat of an F-104 that we chased
it with.

So then, is USC #1?
