I was selected by the staff of the Commemorative Air Force Flyover Team to be the airboss for a flyover at a funeral at the Houston National Cemetery for a fallen Marine. The task at hand was to coordinate the timing of the flyover with the planes in the air after the ceremony had concluded.
A three ship formation, consisting of an AT6 Texan "Ace In The Hole" from the Houston Wing and also 2 Vans RVs from the Flying Tigers Formation Team, formed up out of West Houston Airport and held over a specific point 3 miles away from the cemetery until I made the call to "run in."
This was a big honor for me, as it was my first time bossing an event like this. As an aviation enthusiast, as well as having a large background in logistics, this falls right into my plate of things that I love. At the end, I was shaking with joy and people had tears in their eyes.
I was able to meet with the family of the deceased afterwards and they were much appreciative of the work that was put into this wonderful event.
Thanks to Sam Bulger from the CAF for doing the dirty work with putting this together and also to the pilots for making the job easy.
