CBS says there will be no military aircraft flyover for the Boston Red Sox home opener at Fenway Park this year. Military flyovers are a customary Opening Day ritual that honor service members and add visible pageantry to the ceremony. The game will still go on, and Fenway's season includes themed nights and promotions planned for fans. The absence of the flyover removes a high-profile ceremonial element and will disappoint fans who expect classic Opening Day traditions.
