Military Flyover in Green Bay

 

I have never seen anything like this V-22 Osprey before last Sunday. And the Osprey Flyover at Lambeau during the National Anthem was by far the highlight of the game (unless, of course, you're a Cowboys fan -- which I'm not).

Just to show you the size of this thing, there's a person standing to the left of the fuselage by the wheel. 

And I'm fascinated by the fact that it can change from helicopter mode to airplane mode in mid-flight. 

During the flyover at Lambeau, the timing was absolutely perfect. The guy singing the Anthem took a deep breath and sang the word FREE just as the helicopter Ospreys crossed into stadium space. He held that note as the airplane Ospreys caught up with them at midfield and crossed on out of site. The fans were cheering. People were gawking with theirs mouths wide open.  It gives me chill bumps just thinking about it!

And how proud I am of our country. We have some pretty amazing heroes who have assured my freedom to drive across the country to see this football game in peace. 

Lord, thank you for my freedom from aggressors -- physical and spiritual.
