Four fighter jets will be flying over Foxborough Sunday prior to the start of the New England Patriots AFC Divisional Round game against the Houston Texans at Gillette Stadium.
Correction (Jan. 12, 2013) - A previous version of this article incorrectly reported F-16s would be flying over Sunday's game.
A quartet of military fighter jets will be flying over Gillette Stadium Sunday prior to the start of the New England Patriots AFC Divisional Round game against the Houston Texans.
Four F-15 fighter jets from the 104th Fighter Wing out of Massachusetts Air National Guard in Westfield will be flying over Gillette Stadium – and Foxborough – at approximately 4:35 p.m. Kick-off will follow shortly after.

Actually Steve, they need their flight hours to obtain pilot status. Would you tell the same to a student driver?

Sunday's flyover was canceled due to lack of visibility in Western Mass., according to a Patriots spokesman.

Sorry, I agree with Steve. Little boys playing with big toys with little to no regard about wasting money.
