Maybe it wasn't the perfect time for a flyover.

Yes, the nation had just finished paying respects to those lost to the attacks on September 11, and then the following day what looked to the average Joe as a couple of fighter planes chasing down a commercial jet airliner appeared in the sky over Foxborough and the surrounding towns.

Apparently, a few people found the sight very concerning.


When the three military aircraft eventually flew over Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, they then traveled to Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and landed at Pease Air National Guard Base. The three planes were part of the opening ceremonies during the first game of the season for the New England Patriots as they were getting set to take on the Miami Dolphins.

Some found the formation of the three-plane flyover in very bad taste which immediately followed the 20th anniversary of the attacks on the twin towers of the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and Flight 93 which crashed into a field just outside of Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
