MUSKOGEE (TNS) — Jolene Starkey recalled a surge of pride as the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds made a perfect-timing Super Bowl flyover Sunday.
She said her son, Tech Sgt. Tyler Starkey, manned the radio that helped direct that flyover. The Thunderbirds are a team of fighter pilots who do flyovers and air show demonstrations.
Tyler Starkey said the whole experience was fun, but busy.
Starkey said Thunderbirds are the main marketing and recruiting tool for the USAF.
He said he and a few crew members had stadium credentials and were able to see the game between the Los Angeles Rams and New England Patriots. He also had field access and roof access.
