FAA rules about flying over crowds is you must be more than 1500ft above. What if one of those jets flamed out while passing over or somehow malfunctioned and slammed into the stadium. Was the flight authorized by the Navy or just done on a whim? Just saying.

There is youtube video of an airshow in the 50s and airforce f-100 t birds flew lower than the control tower in a high speed pass.One of the most awesome things I have ever seen.Check it out.

A similarly a
dang impressive flyover at Kinnick stadium in 2010 cost the lead pilot of the four plane group his wings. Yes we loved it and yes we have loads of faith in these pilots. However accidents can happen and one in such settings would cause a sh*tload of bad PR. The brass is right to avoid that by whatever means it takes.

The pussification of our military continues. I hope those guys eventually got their wings back.
