A B-2 Spirit bomber will help commemorate Veterans Day at Saturday’s Kansas University football game, KU officials announced Monday.
The bomber, which will fly over Memorial Stadium after the KU band performs the national anthem, will be guided on the ground by Maj. Jeffrey L. Long of the 393rd Bomb Squadron, based at Whiteman Air Force Base in Johnson County, Mo. Long, a radio communications technician, was a wide receiver at KU in 1984.
Kickoff against Nebraska is at 2:30 p.m. at Memorial Stadium. Veterans Day is Nov. 11.
