An Air Force B-1B bomber will do a flyover of University of Phoenix stadium just before the start of today's national championship game between Florida and Ohio State, officials at Luke Air Force Base said.

The big, four-engine strategic bomber is one of the noisier jets in the Air Force inventory. Officials at Luke said they issued a public alert so residents in Glendale and west Phoenix won't be alarmed at the sight and sounds of the jet.

Four F-16 fighters are set to fly over the stadium at 3:40 p.m. to start the pre-game festivities. The B-1B Lancer will make its appearance at 6:30 p.m. as the national anthem is winding down.

The concept of "freedom" is a myth perpetrated by those in power seeking to control and placate the less intelligent "sheeple."
