It is a waste of money.
Especially, why does the “woke” NFL deserve the free, taxpayer-funded honor of a flyover?? Free, $billion stadiums paid for by taxpayers isn’t enough?
Screw ‘em
It's training. Pilots have to fly a certain number of hours per month to maintain proficiency, and flyovers count.

At one time the the military paid the NFL for the right to conduct military ceremonies at NFL games. (Yes, you read that right, The military paid the NFL, and not the other way around.)
Whether or not the practice still continues I don’t know.
Aikman has focused on that part, wrapping himself in the flag at the same time. He has not mentioned the part where he claims cheerfully that the so-called waste will be ended by Biden / Harris.
When someone says they don't care for patriotic flyovers and they are looking forward to democrats ending them, I take all that into account (and not their twitter 'how dare you!' indignation after the fact) and judge them accordingly.

If that were all he said, I could agree, especially since the stadium was mostly empty. But he went on to say; “This won't happen under a Harris/Biden presidency, I can tell you that”
So “F” him. I don't give a sh!t about Troy or Joe's or any other POS in the sports worlds opinion. Must are a bunch of muscle-headed dumbasses.
Agreed.
ALL Military pilots need a given number of hours of seat time.
That requirement gets filled by such flyovers.
