Aggies will fly 4 F-16s over Kyle before Florida game

Four F-16s piloted by Aggies will conduct the flyover before Saturday’s game vs. Florida.

They come from the 301st Fighter Wing, which has a rich tradition of leadership in the reserve component of the Air Force dating back to the mid-1940s. The 301^st is based at Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Fort Worth Carswell Field (formerly Carswell Air Force Base, named for Horace Carswell ’38).

Pilots:

• Col. Christopher “Jock” Zorich ’98 (At A&M: Squadron 2)
• Lt. Col. Trey “Slim” Sims ’97 (At A&M: Squadron 2)
• Lt. Col. Jared “Shack” Shackelford ’00 (At A&M: Squadron 16)
• Capt. Paul “Brick” Sayers ’17 (At A&M: Squadron 1)

Ground FACs (forward air controllers):

• Lt. Col. Justin “Colt” Lewis ’03 (At A&M: Squadron 2)
• Lt. Col. Kyle “Rage” Strongin ’04 (At A&M: Squadron 16)

If you’re an Association of Former Students donor, you help provide hotel accommodations for pilots and crew for home game flyovers. Thank you!

There are many ways that The Association works to support Aggies' gameday experience and bring Aggies together:

• Away-game Yell Practices on the road with the Texas A&M yell leaders.
• Free All-Aggie Hullabaloo before every home football game on the Haynes Ring Plaza.
• Catered All-Aggie Tailgates at every away football game.
• Class Reunions.
• Financial support for Midnight Yell Practice in Kyle Field.
