  • 50 plane flyover at Phoenix NASCAR race

    There was a "record" 50 plane flyover at the Phoenix NASCAR race today. I have been looking online trying to find out who/what group participated in the flyover, but haven't found anything. Anybody have any idea?

    They did flash the name of the group for a few seconds during the Anthem but I only caught it for a second mainly because I was watching the formation. KC Flight team.

    Looks like this weekend may see a few RVs over The Phoenix International Raceway. Looking at the KC Flight Formation Team Facebook page, I found this: KC Flight Formation Team getting ready for NASCAR in Phoenix,AZ Be sure and watch opening ceremonies to see if we hit the Time Over Target...

          That was awesome, and to me anyway, much more impressive than a couple jet fighters screaming through so fast that its all over before the fans can swivel their heads to take a look.

          I would be curious how the definition of the "record" would be put together. I'm guessing the record largest formation flyover might have involved a bunch of 4-engine types over Germany about 70 years ago?

            This is the same group flying over a Chiefs game here in Kansas City last year. We had 49 then, not including me. Gives you a different perspective.



            We flew for 45 minutes before our time on target, so by the time your actually doing the flyover, you have been busy for a while. Pretty cool stuff!

              I am sure the average NASCAR fan does not realize how difficult formation flying is. Here is the website- www.kcflight.org
