Crossover at Kinnick flyover

185th Air Refueling Wing, Iowa Air National Guard

Oct. 15, 2023 | 2:20

B-roll video shows the view from a U.S. Air Force KC-135 Stratotanker performing a flyover at the Crossover at Kinnick, Iowa Women’s outdoor basketball game in Iowa City on Sunday, October 15, 2023.

The historic venue for the Iowa Air National Guard pregame flyover featured a refueling aircraft from the Iowa Air National Guard passing over the University of Iowa’s football stadium where the event was held.

The 185th Air Refueling Wing was invited to perform the flyover as the Iowa Hawkeye women took on the Blue Demons from Depual in Iowa City.

The home team flyover is thrilling for unit members who had a chance to be a part of the excitement of Big Ten basketball.

Before returning to Sioux City the KC-135 aircrew made the two-hour round trip to Iowa City where they made a low pass over Kinnick Stadium in the air refueling aircraft.

Demonstrations like Sunday’s flight allow pilots to combine regular training with aerial demonstrations. The event also happed to coincide with the Air Guard unit’s scheduled October training weekend.

Flying demonstrations like the one on Sunday are part of the U.S. Air Force aerial events program that are designed to incorporate training activities with aerial demonstrations. These events also help foster unit morale and contribute to community support.
