Religion = Life depending on who you talk to.
Sports = Life depending on who you talk to…
but I’m more for national level sports events
Yup! 
I said thanks, but no thanks, to the flyovers at Christian events.
no where near 1 million dollars to do this.
more like 10K
no way can any random person call up 4 fighters to fly over their party for only $10k?
I have no idea… I’m sure if you were willing to pay for it they would do it though… Usually they lump flyby’s in with training… so the air force or whom ever would foot the bill… they would just adjust the flight schedule slightly to accomodate
How do you estimate that it costs 4 F16’s to fly for at least an hour only $10k?
The 747 and F16 in NYC doing the photo shoot cost $328,835 to fly.
10K lbs in fuel per plane. = 1,492 gallons
1500 gallons times 5 dollars per gallon = 7500 dollars (probably high since these are a single engine f16… they will not be using burner other than take off so they can really conserve fuel)
Ground crew is technically already paid for as most bases have 24/7 coverage and it doesn’t matter how the flying schedule is busy or not. so ground crew = $0
Pilots are also paid monthly so they can be forced to fly as much as possible. flight pay is another monthly either you’ve flown or you didn’t
so the only really cost is fuel. And Jp-8 is really only 3 dollars a gallon in most places… I used 5 for a nice round number…
so roughly 7500 * 4 = 30K cost of Jp-8 is much less so its probably more along the lines of 22K.
747 CONSUMES A SHIT LOAD OF FUEL. when i was on the KC-135 we’d blow through 5k lbs of fuel in an hour. 747 is way bigger so they could realistically blow 20Klbs - 25K lbs an hour.
LOL we were in ecuador paying 2.19 a gallon for JP-8 lol
just because something is already paid for does mean you shouldn’t have to pay your share of the usage back.
just read this and was annoyed… Jesus did not wake up one day and say, I’m sending your town a korean car factory :picard:

we do a ton of this… as ground crew
Believe me its not paying your share of usage… its actually doing something.
Pilots also need to fly often to keep up their proficiency. as much as you can try to say the crews time should be factored in… its better for the planes to fly. and it really doesn’t cost much money at all to fly 4 f16s in comparision to Say like a C5 coming from IRAQ.
It gets expensive when avionics packages and/or things break.
hahah its the south lol all jesus freaks
Thank you Jesus
for bringing
BASS-PRO
to our town!
Hey, 2000 jobs is 2000 jobs. Iv seen people thank jesus for a lot of dumb things before but employment is not one of them.
on your front lawn, fine. on the road leading into town, fail.
Yeah we flushed how many billions down the toilet with the recovery attempt and now we’re worried about a fly over?
lol
