TAMPA, Fla. - The B-1B bomber sits sleek and lethal on the flight line at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, ready for its unusual mission this weekend. "Why do I like to fly it?
Because it goes fast and it looks cool," offered Capt. Richard Davison, one of the U.S. Air Force pilots who will be key players in the Super Bowl flyover Sunday.Davison will meet up over the Gulf of Mexico with two other bombers, a B-52 and a B-2 stealth bomber, prior to the flyover, and then fly at 1,000 feet at 300 mph to arrive over the stadium on the last note of the Star Spangled Banner."That type of precise timing is what we practice every single time.
