Green Bay QB and game MVP Bart Starr, Super Bowl I, 1967.

As NBC and CBS had held the rights to nationally televise
AFL and NFL games, respectively, it was decided that both networks were allowed to broadcast the game.

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.

The first AFL-NFL World Championship Game, known retroactively
as Super Bowl I and referred to in contemporaneous reports,
including the game’s radio broadcast, as the Super Bowl, was an American football game played on January 15, 1967, at the Los
Angeles Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles, California. The
National Football League (NFL) champion Green Bay Packers
defeated the American Football League (AFL) champion Kansas
City Chiefs by the score of 35–10.
