      49 Plane   Flyover
     
    This video is remarkable! 

    How they worked it out with Homeland Security, FAA and all the other government protectors is remarkable.

    These are radio-controlled MODEL airplanes. No small feat!  The Obama budget cuts have eliminated military flyovers at large events. But, there's a group of guys in Kansas City who do formation-flying on their own and decided to pick up the slack. They invited a couple of other groups to join them for with 48 guys using their homemade RC airplanes. If they had had more time, they probably would have had an even larger group as people kept joining; they had a 49th added near the event.  One additional feature of the flyover was the use of pink smoke for cancer awareness. The folks from the Guinness Book were there and are expected to confirm it as the largest formation flight ever. To top it off, the crowd later set the record for the loudest gathering at a football stadium.

    Speakers on and best watched at 'full screen'.

    "The Obama budget cuts have eliminated military flyovers at large events."

    Congress controls the budget.  I'm sure the flyover was very cool but the propaganda wasn't necessary.
