The University of Alabama will welcome an Airbus A321 commercial airliner for a pregame flyover prior to the start of the Iron Bowl on Saturday at Bryant-Denny Stadium.
This aircraft is the first A321 that is being produced for Delta Air Lines in the Airbus Manufacturing Facility in Mobile, Ala. It will be the 15th Airbus A321 delivered from the facility, which opened in September of 2015.
Airbus now has over 370 employees at their facility in Mobile, where more than 85 percent of the employees are from Alabama and the Gulf Coast Region.
The Airbus A321 flyover is scheduled for 2:16 p.m. on Saturday roughly 23 minutes prior to kickoff on CBS.
