Attendees at a recent Miami airshow witnessed
an unprecedented “Freedom Flyover” of three types of Air Force bombers and four
types of fighters that had never been seen flying together before, said Charles
Hoffman, a spokesman for Air Force Global Strike Command.
“It’s not just about fighters and bombers,”
Hoffman told Task & Purpose. “It’s about an integrated team of
professionals coming together across the total force to illustrate the
readiness and resolve of the active duty, Guard and Reserve force any time…anywhere.”
The 2025 Hyundai Air & Sea Show on Saturday
marked the first time that a B-52H, B-1B, B-2, F-22. F-15C, F-16C, and A-10
have flown in a formation, Hoffman said.
“We have done a few tri-bomber flyovers, and the
command wanted to do something special and unique to honor the fallen for
Memorial Day at the Miami Air Show,” Hoffman said.
The reason that an F-35A Joint Strike Fighter was
not part of the formation is that none were available at the time, Hoffman
said.
