In an exciting first for Super Bowl LX, the Air Force and Navy are teaming up for a joint flyover, and one of the pilots making history is none other than Lieutenant Dalton Stewart, an Oakdale native. Right after the National Anthem at Levi’s Stadium, you’ll see Stewart soaring through the skies in his F/A-18 Super Hornet, representing both his military branch and his beloved hometown.
Stewart, who is based at the Naval Air Station in Lemoore, couldn’t be more thrilled about this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As a devoted football fan, he understands the significance of this moment—not only for him but also for the communities he represents. He acknowledged that organizing a flyover of this magnitude requires significant preparation, but it all seems worth it when he’s able to showcase his pride on such a global stage.
The upcoming event promises to add an extra layer of excitement to the game, making it an unforgettable experience for both the audience and the pilots involved. Who knows, maybe people will be less focused on their nachos and more on the impressive display high above them. Now that’s a win-win!
