4 jets planned for Oct. 7 flyover before Alabama game

This weekend's home game flyover will feature two F-16 Vipers and two F-35 Lightning IIs from the 56th Fighter Wing out of Luke Air Force Base, Arizona. 

The F-16 Viper is a highly maneuverable, compact, multi-role fighter, and the F-35 Lightning II is the U.S. Air Force's latest fifth-generation fighter. 

This Saturday's personnel will include: 

• Lt. Col. Ray “BEAST” Naylor 
• Maj. Aaron “Shiv” Johnson
• Lt. Col. Joshua “Juice” Jones
• Lt. Col. “Jakal” Rallo and
• Maj. Jared “Maddog” Marvin

The aircraft will approach from the south at the conclusion of the national anthem.

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.
