One of the traditions of the Army-Navy rivalry is the flyover, and last night’s one was captured spectacularly

You wouldn’t need to know too much about college football to hazard a guess that there might be a bit of rivalry between the lads of the Navy and the lads from the Army.

In front of 65,612 at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, in the rain, snow and cold, both teams went into battle, with all the usual pre-game theatrics, including a pretty spectacular flyover from The Blue Angels.

The lads of the Navy made it 12 wins in a row however by a score of 34-7, but that didn’t stop them from putting one hell of a show on beforehand.
