The U.S. Navy has announced that an all-female flight crew will conduct the four aircraft formation flyover during the national anthem at the opening of Super Bowl LVII this Sunday, February 12, 2023 at the State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.

The aircraft performing the national anthem flyover will be an F-35C Lightning II from U.S. Navy Strike Fighter Squadron 97 (VFA- 97), the “Warhawks”; two F/A-18F Super Hornets of Navy Strike Fighter Squadron 122 (VFA-122), the “Flying Eagles”; and one EA- 18G Growler electronic warfare aircraft from Electronic Attack Squadron 129 (VAQ-129), the “Vikings”.

The U.S. Navy said in an official release that, “These aircraft represent the strike and electronic attack capability of the Carrier Air Wing of the Future, providing advanced technology and enhanced flexibility to our military combatant commanders.”

An all-female flight crew was selected for the flyover to commemorate the 50th anniversary of women flying in the U.S. Navy.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Are they truly all female?  Are any of them trannies, and if not, why not?  Could females who transitioned to male still be eligible?  It is far more important to Navy morale to have some trannies involved.  All female units are sexist. :whistle:

I was guessing an all black crew since the 2 quarterbacks are black and all the actors in the commercials will be black as well.  All my people, since I now identify as black.  *****rollingeyes*****

If you're qualified, willing and able to perform the mission, I don't give a single damn what gender you are.

Just shaddup already with this sexist, racist and bigoted BS.
