Mirage jets to pass over Taoyuan stadium in flyover (2014/08/26)
For the first time ever, Taiwan’s armed forces will hold a flyover at a baseball game. Mirage 2000 jets will pass over Taoyuan International Baseball Stadium on Thursday as part of a series of events the Lamigo Monkeys are holding ahead of Armed Forces Day next Wednesday.
The flyover will consist of five Mirage 2000 jets dispatched from Hsinchu Air Base flying at a height of 1,000 feet. To promote this event, Lamigo Monkeys players and cheerleaders joined soldiers in a press event today.
The Ministry of National Defense reached an agreement with the Monkeys for a special forces unit to perform during the game. It is part of a series of events taking place over the Monkeys’ four-day “Army Party.”
Liu Jie-ting Lamigo Monkeys Camouflage will be present throughout the stadium to reinforce the Army theme. We hope to use this opportunity for baseball fans across the country to pay respect to the heroes serving in our armed forces.
Tseng Chao-hao Lamigo Monkeys We’re going to dress like soldiers. These uniforms look good and offer a strong presence, much like that of a soldier. It’s as if we’re on the battlefield putting forth our best effort.
The ministry hoped to hold similar events with Lamigo last year, but they were called off following the death of an army corporal under suspicious circumstances. But with that controversy behind it, the armed forces will be able to treat fans to a special event this year.
