Military officials say this change came because the Raptors were reassigned to operational missions, leaving aviation planners to adjust the flyover to include other iconic Air Force and Navy aircraft. The revised show is still designed to honor the nation’s airpower and provide a memorable tribute for nearly 70,000 fans in the stadium and millions watching on television.
