Navy jets planned for Miami University game spotted at Middletown Airport

Two Navy jets stopped at the Middletown Regional Airport on Friday morning. The F18 Super Hornets were there to get fuel, an airport manager told the Journal-News.

The manager said the pilots of the planes were in the region to “support Miami University” and other community engagement. A Miami University photographer told the Journal-News the pilots will be doing a flyover at the football game on Saturday.

Both of the pilots are Miami graduates, according to Alecia Lipton, a spokeswoman for the university. It is homecoming at Miami this weekend.

Miami’s football team plays Toledo University in Oxford at 4 p.m. Both teams are 6-1 and lead their divisions in the MAC.

Earlier this year, Miami beat the University of Cincinnati for the first time since 2005.
