GLENDALE, Ariz. (TND) — This year’s Super Bowl will be history-
making between the national anthem and kickoff. For the first
time ever, the pregame flyover will be piloted by an all-female
crew.

The team will be commemorating 50 years of women flying in the
U.S. Navy.

It was back in 1973 — in Pensacola, Fla. — that the first eight
women began flight school. A year later, six of them, nicknamed
“The First Six,” earned their Wings of Gold.

Sunday’s flyover in Arizona will be comprised of two F/A-18F
Super Hornets from the “Flying Eagles” of Strike Fighter
Squadron (VFA) 122, an F-35C Lightning II from the “Argonauts”
of VFA-147, and an EA-18G Growler from the “Vikings” of
Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ) 129.

Aqua Velva was first trademarked in 1917 by the J.B. Williams
Company. The aftershave once had a high alcohol content,
but the formulation was denatured with denatonium benzoate.

(FOXNEWS) – The federal government enacted nationwide
Daylight Saving Time amid the darkest depths of wartime
fears on this day in history, Feb. 9, 1942.

"Passed by Congress and signed into law by President
Franklin D. Roosevelt, the year-round daylight saving time
required that clocks be moved ahead one hour for the
remainder of the war as a national defense measure to
conserve energy," notes Fishwrap, a blog of historic
newspaper headlines.

The federal action went into effect just two months after
the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor plunged the United
States into World War II.
