Two Sikorsky CH-53E Super Stallion helicopters will fly over Kenan Stadium just prior to the 3:30 p.m. kickoff of Saturday’s football contest against Virginia Tech.
On Friday afternoon, the helicopters will do practice runs over the stadium between 12:30 and 2:30 p.m.
Captain Joe Elseroad, a 2003 Carolina alumnus and veteran of the Iraq war, will command the flight. The helicopters are part of the Marine Heavy Helicopter Training Squadron 302 from Marine Corps Air Station in New River.
