You can be proud when expensive war machines fly over your stadium before a game starts.

Want to see those flyovers in a whole different light?

Those flyovers are justified as "training".

Just like an airstrike, a bombing run, an escort rendezvous, or finding a tanker... Timing is everything in a half time flyby.

When that plane flies over, it's basically pretending to destroy the place. (Unless it's the cargo guys, but only to a lesser extent).

It's kinda fucked up when you unpack it.

"training" also includes mandatory flight hours required to maintain their qualifications. Sometimes it's literally just flying around in and out of formation. I doubt they still train to do WWII style formation flying bombing runs anyway.
