F-35 Fighter Jets From Hill AFB to Flyover BYU vs Notre Dame Game

If you're a BYU football fan from Southern Utah making the drive to Provo this weekend, you'll want to get to LaVell Edwards Stadium early. And if you're watching the game from your living room in St. George or Cedar City, you might want to tune in before kickoff.

Soaring Spectacle: F-35 Flyover Announcement

Saturday's huge matchup between No. 8 BYU and No. 2 Notre Dame will feature a special flyover by F-35A Lightning II fighter jets from Hill Air Force Base. The fighter jets are scheduled to roar over LaVell Edwards Stadium at approximately 1,000 feet just before the 5:30 p.m. kickoff. That's close enough to make serious noise, and military officials warn nearby residents to expect it.

One of the pilots has a personal connection to Saturday's game. Lt. Col. Jefferson Page is a BYU graduate who will return to his alma mater as part of the flight crew.

Tune In: Catch the Action on ABC 4

Southern Utah fans can tune in nationally on ABC 4 at 5:30 p.m. Mountain time. While the network isn't guaranteed to show the flyover, tuning in early might improve your chances of catching it.
