An Air Force spokeswoman said pilots who conducted a flyover before Iowa’s Nov. 20 football game against Ohio State might have violated a rule by flying at 500 feet without permission. The flyover by four jets after the national anthem amazed the Kinnick Stadium crowd, and many fans posted videos online. 1st Lt. Katie Roling, a spokeswoman for Vance Air Force Base, said the flight should have been at least 1,000 feet above ground level. Then again, the pilots wouldn’t have been able to read the game-day programs at that altitude.
