Jayhawks Get Air Force Flyover | Lawrence News

Kansas University is getting a sky-high send-off this week as military jets roar overhead ahead of their first game of the 2026 season. On Thursday at noon, two T-38 Talons from Whiteman Air Force Base will practice flyovers over David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium, warming up for the real show. Then, just minutes before Friday’s 7 PM kickoff against Long Island University, the jets return for a dramatic finale. It’s not just spectacle—it’s a high-octane pep rally designed to electrify the crowd and launch the Jayhawks’ season with firepower. Skywatchers near the stadium, mark your calendars: air power meets football in style. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
