Meaney said the C-5 Air Force planes (which were discreetly marked) were carrying UMass ROTC alumni and flew over the stadium to kick off the new season.
The very loud planes flew over Medfield about six times around 3 p.m. on Saturday.

The game started at 3:30 p.m. and had a final score of Indiana 45, UMass 6, according to boston.sbnation.com
Meaney said the town often sees part of Gillette Stadium air shows because Medfield is in their flight pattern.
