Isaacman to Pilot NASA Jet at NFL Game on Oct. 11
NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman will fly one of three F-5 fighter jets over MetLife Stadium before the Jets-Browns game as part of the agency's Inspiration Tour.
Jared Isaacman, NASA's administrator, will pilot one of three F-5 fighter jets over MetLife Stadium on Oct. 11. The flyover comes before the New York Jets face the Cleveland Browns.
Before the game, NASA staff will run an Experience Zone in the Jets Tailgate Zone outside the stadium from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. EDT. Visitors can step inside an Artemis dome, play interactive games, and pose with a large inflatable model of the Space Launch System rocket.
Isaacman will be available for limited media interviews during the game, NASA said. To arrange coverage, contact Camille Gallo at [email protected].
The flyover is part of NASA's Inspiration Tour, a series of stops across the U.S. that connects the agency with academic, industry and public organizations. The tour ends with MAX POWER, a public exposition on Nov. 7 and 8 at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The family-friendly event will showcase next-generation aircraft, spacecraft, autonomous vehicles and other technologies, and celebrates America's 250th anniversary.
