Opening Day Flyover Canceled, Then Saved By Fort Worth Base

(Arlington, TX) — Rangers fans are still talking about the opening day flyover, after it was saved from cancellation.

Bombers from Dyess Air Force Base in Abilene were originally scheduled to perform at the game, but that flyover was canceled late yesterday morning. However, four F-16s from the 301st Fighter Wing at the Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base in Fort Worth took over the flying duties on short notice.
