Too bad you missed the beginning of the missing man formation - jeez..

eltorrente - Too bad I did the best I could. Where is your video of the flyover? Oh thats right you don't have one.

I was on alpine by Meijer when they few over and they were flying pretty low there. Was a great thing to see.

[d5240]

Yea I was pretty much underneath them. Wish I could have been in two places at once and seen them from a different perspective also. I was thinking a good place might have been the old Cracker Barrel off of Alpine.

A spectacular and fitting tribute to Ford. It would have been cool if the jet formations flown a little lower, but I suppose a funeral isnt the place to rattle people like at an airshow.

[d5240]

Yep. I'm sure there is a set altitude that is considered perfect for tributes and safety over a large city.

you passed the missing man formation cause you was to busy worried about the one in afterburner this vid completly defeats the purpose.

@gonegeese That means you are a good person :-) When the pilot breaks away and flies up to say goodbye for us all one last time.. I break down myself COMPLETELY.

@aberhan78 Murderers dont go to heaven my friend. Especially when the murderer never sees the face of his victim.

[himmler251]

@aberhan78 actually in ww2 the bomber pilots when they were coming back to base they would fly this formation when an aircraft was shot down, thats where the tradition started

[gonegeese]
