Flyover Scheduled for Titans Playoff Matchup
Weather permitting, a flyover is scheduled at the conclusion of the national anthem prior to kickoff of Sunday’s game. The flyover will be conducted by Fort Campbell’s 101st Airborne and features three CH-47F Chinook helicopters flown by the historic “Pachyderms” of Bravo Company, 6th Battalion, 101st Combat Aviation Brigade, “Wings of Destiny.”
The Chinook is the fastest and most powerful helicopter in the U.S. Army’s inventory. The 101st Combat Aviation Brigade is currently deployed across three continents supporting operations in Korea, Kuwait and Europe while also training soldiers at Fort Campbell. The unit was also part of the Nov. 8 game flyover, designated as the NFL’s “Salute to Service” game.
