A crew of University of Pittsburgh graduates assigned to the 911th Airlift Wing is scheduled to support a flyover during the Backyard Brawl game between the Pitt Panthers and West Virginia University Mountaineers at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh, Sept. 14, 2024.

Community members should be prepared to see a low-flying aircraft and to hear jet noise, as the C-17 is slated to fly at no lower than 1,000 feet above ground level. The flight plan was extensively coordinated with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and designed to follow all applicable regulations, which will be followed strictly to ensure safety for all crew members and observers.
Flyovers are conducted as part of pre-scheduled training and come at no additional cost to the taxpayer.
