For the first time in the history of the Super Bowl, Sunday's Super Bowl LVII will feature a U.S. Navy flyover comprised entirely of women.
According to Kris V Cleave of the News, seven women will pilot the planes involved in Sunday's pregame flyover in recognition of the 50-year anniversary of when women were first permitted to become Navy pilots.
Eight women made history in 1973 when they became the first women to enter the U.S. Navy's flight school, and six of them ended up earning their wings.Per Van Cleave, women now make up about 15 percent of the Navy's pilots.
