From Linda Convissor:
Saturday marks the end of the home football season with Carolina kicking-off against the University of Miami Hurricanes at 3:30 p.m.
Just prior to kickoff, four Marine F/A-18 Hornet jets will fly over Kenan Stadium. The F/A-18s are part of the VMFA-122 squadron known as the 'Werewolves', and are based out of the Marine Corps Air Station in Beaufort, South Carolina. One of the pilots is UNC alumnus Captain Benjamin Apple, class of 2003.
Practice runs will be made on Friday between 2:00 and 3:00 p.m. Of course, bad weather or aircraft schedule changes could affect the flight plans for Friday and Saturday.
The jets will be flying low and be quite loud, so we wanted to give you advance warning.
