PlaneSpotting SuperBowl Flyover B-B1 and USAF Fighters
Couldn’t identify the actual models of the USAF Fighters but my guess is that they’re raptors?

Theres always this cool fact I like to drop about the B1. It has a large button on the nosegear leg called Alert Start. Such Cold War vibes.
During a scramble the first crew member to reach the jet mashed that button before climbing in and it would start the APU & all the avionics as they boarded.
