This was pretty cool! We had been pre-warned but weren't sure (no one was) what would happen exactly. They announced pregame today for homecoming at The Big House that there would be a special fly over today and fans should cover their ears because it would be VERY LOUD! That part was spot on!
112,000 looked on as Rocketman launched from top of The Big House. Flew to the student corner where I was standing on the field in the middle of the University of Michigan marching bad. Parted my hair! Put a thumping on my eardrums and had the bad holding their hats on while laughing, yelling and screaming!
Wow! I couldn't believe how loud it was and how hard the exhaust blew!! He stopped almost straight above me, and then flew back out over the field, performed a soft, 'two-point' landing with the game football!! (no... they wouldn't let me try it!)
WARNING - VERY LOUD... but cool!!

I cut if off a little quick because of the thumping in my ears! Can you say buffeting?!? Now everyone will want a Rocketman to fly the game ball into their stadium!!!
GO BLUE!
"And I think it's gonna be a long long time
Till touchdown brings me round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no I'm a rocket man!"
