Mets Home Opener National Anthem and F-18 FlyBy

National Anthem and Fly-By at Mets CitiField Home Opener, April 13, 2009. Filmed from Section 502, the anthem was performed by the cast of West Side Story, and the fly-by executed by 4 F-18 Hornets from the Thunderbolt Squadron in Buford, SC. The flag that we see being unfurled is stretched out by many members of the Marine Corps, was literally the size of a football field. The fighters showed up about 30 seconds after it ended, but it was still a great to see and feel in your chest. Thank you to all members of our Armed Forced for your service and dedication.

I loved the fly-by but this crowd sucked. BIGTIME. Talk about no American pride all I heard was..."haha I'm drunk" and *quiet*....no sound....

I love the Airforce! ^.^!!!!!!!!!
