As part of Corps Homecoming and Military Appreciation Day, the Tri-State Warbird Museum located in Batavia, Ohio, will conduct a military flyover during the National Anthem and during the half-time military appreciation performance. The flyovers are expected barring weather or operational factors.

The flyovers will feature the historic World War II era North American B-25 Mitchell bomber, "Axis Nightmare" during pregame and a North American AT-6 Texan Advanced Trainer during halftime.

The AT-6 aircraft will be on display at the Virginia Tech/Montgomery Regional Airport located at 1601 Research Center Dr. beginning Friday, Sept. 12 at approximately 11 a.m. when the aircraft is scheduled to arrive from Ohio. The B-25 is scheduled to arrive at approximately 3:30 p.m. The crews and aircraft will be available until 4:30 p.m. that day.

The crews and aircraft will also be available Saturday before the game starting at 9 a.m. and the aircraft will again be available after the flyovers on Saturday as well as Sunday morning until the aircraft depart at 9 a.m.

The aircraft will do practice flights in the local area on Friday and the B-25 will perform a flyover at the Corps of Cadets formal retreat ceremony to honor our returning alumni at 4:45 p.m. The ceremony will be held at the flagpole on the Upper Quad behind Lane Hall. Lane Hall is located at 280 Alumni Mall. The Color Guard will lower the flag, Skipper, the corps cannon, will fire, and the Highty-Tighties will play.
