BTS: Choreographing today’s giant Super Bowl flyover

Photography

Through insanely good timing, I caught Friday’s practice flyover as the jets headed up to Levi’s Stadium:

Right now my MiniMe & I are getting set to head up to the Bayshore Trail with proper cameras, as we hope to catch the real event at 3:30 local time.

Meanwhile, I’ve been enjoying this deep dive video (courtesy of our Photoshop teammate Sagar Pathak, who’s gotten just insane access in past years). It features interviews with multiple pilots, producers, and more as they explain the challenges of safely putting eight cross-service aircraft into a tight formation over hundreds of thousands of people—and in front of a hundred+ million viewers. I think you’ll dig it.
