2 refueling planes set for Sept. 16 flyover

This weekend’s home-game flyover will feature a KC-135R and a KC-46 based out of Altus Air Force Base, Oklahoma, from the U.S. Air Force's 97th Air Mobility Wing, whose men and women train aircrew to operate these advanced tanker systems.

The KC-135R Stratotanker is an air refueling platform that has been extending American airpower for 60 years. The KC-46 Pegasus is the newest Air Force tanker.

The lineup of pilots and crew will not be finalized until Friday, but no Aggies are expected to take part in this flyover as of now.

If you’re an Association of Former Students donor, you help provide hotel accommodations for pilots and crew as needed for home game flyovers, which are coordinated by the Corps of Cadets. Thank you!

There are many ways that The Association works to support Aggies' gameday experience and bring Aggies together, including:

• Free All-Aggie Hullabaloo before every home football game on the Haynes Ring Plaza.
• All-Aggie Headquarters on the road before select away games.
• Away-game Yell Practices on the road with the Texas A&M yell leaders.
• Class Reunions.
