A flyover by our military aircraft is awe-inspiring and why millions attend air shows every year. The Blue Angels and Thunderbirds each perform around 60 shows per year at the cost of about $40 million for each program … for the entire year.
The expected cost of Donald Trump’s “military parade” is about $45 million with $16 million estimated to repair the street damage caused by heavy tanks … and all in a single day.
I guess DOGE missed the memo on this one.
