+Fates Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 PRESS RELEASE -- Secretary of the Air Force, Office of Public Affairs Release No. 050107 January 26,2007 Thunderbirds to kick off Superbowl XLI WASHINGTON - The U.S. Air Force's elite demonstration squadron, the "Thunderbirds," will help kick off Super Bowl XLI in Miami with a flyover of Dolphin Stadium on Feb. 4, 2007. The team's six red, white and blue F-16 fighter jets will roar over in their signature six-ship Delta formation at the conclusion of the National Anthem. The aircraft will fly over at about 500 feet and 450 miles per hour. "We are honored to participate in the Super Bowl, especially this year, as the United States Air Force commemorates our 60th Anniversary," said Lt. Col. Kevin Robbins, Thunderbird Commander. The fly-over is just one of many events the Thunderbirds will participate in during 2007 to commemorate the United States Air Force's six decades of air and space power. The U.S. Air Force Air Demonstration Squadron is an Air Combat Command unit composed of eight pilots (including six demonstration pilots), four support officers, four civilians and approximate ly 120 enlisted Airmen performing in more than 25 career specialties. "Our job is to represent the thousands of Airmen who serve their country on a daily basis, including the more than 25,000 fighting on the front lines in the Global War on Terror," said Robbins. The Super Bowl is the nation's highest-rated TV program annually. According to the NFL, more than 141 million viewers in the U.S. tuned in to last year's game. Super Bowl XLI will be broadcast to a potential worldwide audience of one billion in more than 230 countries and territories. __________________ 70% of the world is covered by water.

+Erik Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 My team was the Indy all the way ... but I feared with the weather in Florida that Chi-town was going to be unbeatable on the ground. Manning proved them wrong and the Bears were just out classed on the field. In retro-spec I wish the game had been a better match up, but it was still a good close to the season. I wasn't impressed with Pepsi's half time show, but that Caddy they presented Peyton for MVP is a tight ride. Well here's looking at SB-XLII. As my friend Fates so aptly quoted the immortals ... there can be only one. Night all ... Quote
