will perform their popular patriotic American Flag demonstration
jump as part of the homecoming game and inaugural meeting of the

2,000 sq. ft. American Flag.
John Hart, owner of Start
Skydiving, and Founder of Team Fastrax™ said, "We are honored to be
performing our patriotic American Flag skydive for the Navy football game. Members of Team Fastrax™ have
served the United States of
America as part of the Armed Forces, many in combat, so we
particularly enjoy performing at any event that honors our nation's
military."
According to the Navy Midshipmen Football website, UCF is the
first ranked team to visit Annapolis since last October when Navy stunned #6 / #5 Houston, 46-40. In 2015, Navy defeated #15 / #16 Memphis, 45-20, in the Liberty Bowl.

opponents which is tied with George
Welsh for the second most in school history. Eddie Erdelatz holds the record with nine.
