Dont be afraid to go to your local airport and ask if any pilots would be interested.You'd be surprised just how many have participated in this.When my father passed,I asked my friend from my airport if anyone knew how to organize this and I was surprised to find out that there is a handful of guys that has done it on numerous previous occasions.Trust me,the aircraft do not need to be jets or fast to make a lasting impression.My father's flyover was done with a dehavilland chipmunk,a luscombe, a yankee and my friend flying my cub in the missing man slot.When the planes flew over,it was by far the most emotional part of the ceremony for everyone in attendance.
