Small planes towing advertising banners are a common sight over Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara. They’re in the sky hours before the start of games, concerts, and other events, slowly passing over spectators stuck in traffic or gathered for tailgating.
Not on Super Bowl Sunday - there’s a no-fly zone in effect. Flying overhead to enforce the restriction will be F-15 fighter jets. They’re already training for the big game. (Watch the above video of a recent training mission, including mid-flight refueling of a fighter jet in the skies over California.)
