No more pre-kickoff flyovers

It's tradition.. the anthem takes a minute..

Airplanes are 'MERICAN. We invented 'em yo.

I couldn't care less about the national anthem being performed either. It's usually someone I've never heard of and it's a really hard song to sing well. It usually ends up getting butchered.

Who has their panties in a bunch? I see a simple discussion. If this were jvbraves gay thread i would offer to unbunch your panties for ya.

Who cares, the govt is cutting costs and things like this will be the first to go. I doubt many realize just exactly how much this sort of thing costs......

That's what she said.

lol u stoopid

Zero dollars since as its been mentioned these flights are included in MANDATORY "training" hours for pilots.

There is definitely some agenda as to why this is being done but I really can't see what it is.

You would be *hard* pressed to find any active duty military pilot coming somewhat close to not having enough hours.

This is one of those 'well its already in the budget, so it must not cost anything' sort of scam.

You guys want to see jets up close, go to a museum or airshow. Why do you think airlines are constantly going bankrupt/reforming?

Stupid is as stupid does.
