It's officially a holiday in Cincinnati! The Reds play the Brewers with the first pitch at 2:05 PM for the start of the 2011 Major League Baseball season.
Member Jared Soergel has the details for the pre-game flyover:
VFA-131 will be performing a flyover for Opening Day 2011. The standard procedure for flyovers at GABP is to orbit overhead of Lunken Field (KLUK), then depart on a 270-degree heading directly to the stadium. Most often, aircraft will stage from Lunken itself.
The lead aircraft will be communicating timing with the ground controller (probably on UHF discrete), and making the inbound call with CVG Approach. In some cases, another aircraft in the flight will monitor Lunken Tower for traffic advisories.
