In 1999, after a bonfire stack collapse at Texas A&M University leading to 12 deaths, then Senator Phil Gramm offered the F-16 flyover reserved for his future funeral as a US senator to be given instead to the Texas A&M Community. The offer was accepted and a memorial flyover for the 12 killed was flown at a Texas A&M Football Game on November 26, 1999.
