UPDATE, 7:22 p.m. | The Kansas City Chiefs posted video of the flyover - which included two C-130J aircraft - from outside GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.

ORIGINAL REPORT | The military flyover before tonight’s game between the Kansas City Chiefs and New Orleans Saints will be extra notable.

The flyover above GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium is set to include a C-130J aircraft from Kessler Air Force Base in Biloxi, Mississippi.

The aircraft is similar to the heavily modified WC-130J Hercules that have been flying countless missions this week getting the latest information from Hurricane Milton in the Gulf of Mexico.

The plane flying above Kansas City tonight uses the same base Hurricane Hunter aircraft in the Gulf.
