    interesting flyover yesterday

    49 planes over Arrowhead stadium trailing pink smoke. Sorry about the poor quality of the shakey video but it shows the planes well after a couple of minutes and it's not mine anyway. They flew over my house after leaving the stadium and it sounded like an angry mob of weedeaters...
