KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A B-2 Spirit Stealth Bomber from the Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri will make an appearance before Super Bowl LV.

The aircraft will fly over Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, during the national anthem.

This will be a "first-of-its-kind trifecta flyover" as the B-2 bomber will be joined by a B-1B Lancer from Ellsworth Air Force Base in South Dakota and a B-52 Stratofortress from Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota.

Maj. Dan “Tusk” Ecklebe and Capt. Sarah “Gucci” Kocuiba will be the B-2 pilots for the flyover.

The flyover will occur moments before the Kansas City Chiefs try to defend their title against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
