We give how many billions over seas and we can't have fly bys at sporting events? It's America's past time!

 

[coldmeat]

Yes, this is what you should be upset about.

Apparently, flyovers will continue at Lucas Oil Stadium.

Don't worry the drones will be up there. You just can't see them.

Aerial coverage of the game brought to you buy the Goodyear drone!

Maybe they'll just do drive-bys now.

Oh No, Obama was right, the Sequester is hitting Americans hard! Quick, please add back the .02% of the budget increases that were removed.

flyovers are awesome, but i do agree tax money should not be spent for this. if anything, the teams should pay the government for the entertainment.

If the savings from jet fuel will get the potholes in my neighborhood block fixed, then I'm all for it.

 

[JulesMaximus]

Explain to me why should I give a shit?

Well, you see, it's because airplanes and sports. See?

 

[who?]

The pilots have to have practice time. If they didn't fly over stadiums they'd be flying over an empty stretch of desert or farmland but they'd still be flying.

Why can't sporting events pay for the flyovers themselves? Its not like athletes are underpaid.

What's the point of flyover? It's a wasteful way to advertise for the Air Force. It's a waste of fuel, maintenance hours and equipment. It does nothing for the readiness of the U.S.A.F.

Actually I'd argue it's their best form of advertising. Seeing a TV commercial is one thing (especially compared to all the stuff we already see on TV screens). Seeing a fighter jet streak across the sky in real life is way more cool.

I hope the use of Air Force One for family vacations has been curtailed as well

Not going to happen.

Not going to happen.

Oh I know, its too important a sacrifice to make for the numerous vacations the president and his family need to take to Hawaii. The president should have to sacrifice that just because his constituents gave.

 

[TwiceOver]

Eliminate both.

When a household can't afford to pay the bills they look at anything that can be cut. When the government can't pay it just cries and borrows more.

"This country is going to hell!"

It has been for years. I remember when the NM national guard would fly F-16s over the town's main street for the 4th of July parade. Now they never do, and they haven't in many years.

So would you rather they fly southwest for personal flights and spend even more money by securing the entire airport(s) and flights?

 

[mizzou]

These military planes will still fly for training, they just won't do it over sports stadiums anymore.

Way to go America.
