The flyover in question took place prior to the Titans home game against the New Orleans Saints on Nov. 14 at Nissan Stadium in Nashville. Video captured multiple helicopters from the 101st Airborne Division’s Combat Aviation Brigade proceeding over the stadium at an extremely low altitude that seemingly put them in close enough proximity to fans to warrant concern.

An investigation from Nashville’s NewsChannel 5 released this past Monday brought up scrutiny of the operation. The Federal Aviation Administration will now reportedly review the incident to see whether the flyover violated any aviation rules, according to the Army Times.

Army spokesperson Lt. Col. Terence Kelley confirmed that the 101st Airborne Division’s commanding general, Maj. Gen. Joseph McGee, “has directed [a] preliminary inquiry into this event”, per the Times.
