The dome was closed. Nobody at the Super Bowl saw the military flyover! Sure, the game was the most viewed TV program in history with an estimated 111 million tuned in.
The cost figure of $450,000 is based on the aircraft’s operational cost,(...)
the time it took pilots in the F-18 jets to fly the mission and a backup plane, according to official data.
But the Navy said the only costs of the trip that it recorded were the fuel expenses of $109,000 and the flyover provided good publicity to help military recruitment.
With unemployment running at over 9%, they might do better by sending some recruiters to set up shop at unemployment offices.
As for the flyover, have the NFL pay for it...it's their show.
