Actually, as Rush mentioned yesterday, the service branches use this in pilot training and the hours count toward pilot training.

Most vets I know just roll their eyes at all the theater.

Right, but if Aikman wears a MAGA hat or stands for the Anthem he's out on his ear.

Things keep up we won't have to see a flyover, a parade, a marching band, any fireworks, even a flag hanging outside a home.

Hell, mister, I'll go on quietly saluting men like you even if I have to do it behind bars.

Likely we'll begin to find out in just a couple weeks.

And they are evaluated as to how close they can get to the final note of the song. (Thank you George S Patton).

True. Plus formation flying is good practice.

He's more into seamen.

Welcome to FR, Skip Bayless. The meme about Troy being gay has been thoroughly debunked.

I'm former military, these flybys do nothing for me.

“He’s right. A flyover over an empty stadium? Total waste of money.”

A stadium flyover is exciting, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

But there should never be another one for the NFL. They don't deserve it. Use any training jet fuel available to fly over a schoolyard in a community where patriots live.

I doubt Aikman is voting Democrat...I thought it was a back handed slap when he said “Kamala-Biden”.

Stop the public funding / tax breaks to private sport teams to build their stadiums. Let them bear the cost of infrastructure improvement around their properties. Stop paying them to send honor guards to their games, make them pay for the flyovers. Some teams will and some will not but let’s have an honest accounting of which are patriotic or not. Let the cost come out of their ungrateful owners and player’s pocket, btw way we’re $27 trillion in debt.

“ctually, as Rush mentioned yesterday, the service branches use this in pilot training and the hours count toward pilot training.”

Correct. The time flying can be anything, so the military makes double use of the time to also do flyovers. Also, no vet I know, myself included, thinks flyovers are stupid.

Yes, its a waste of money. The military does not exist for our entertainment.

The stadium is more than half empty. The NFL supports BLM and ANTIFA, and yet not one of you people see that Aikman is right. Its a waste of fuel and time for the military to waste resources for something very few people are watching. Heard all you people bitch about the NFL and how you are never watching. And now the same people who arent watching are pissed at Aikman for pointing out the obvious that it is a lot of jet fuelNot to mention one 5 second fly over costs over $80,000!

And as Aikman pointed out, this is going to be a Harris / Biden ticket. Her old man confirmed this! Please tell me where he is wrong?

“That’s a lot of jet fuel just to do a little flyover,” Aikman noted as he saw the planes fly over his head.

“That’s your hard-earned money and your tax dollars at work,” his broadcasting partner, Joe Buck, replied.

“That stuff ain’t happening with [a] Kamala-Biden ticket,” Aikman shot back. “I’ll tell you that right now, partner.”

He’s always been a jerk. Too bad he was a Dallas Cowboy.
