Sigh. Leave it to a college professor to criticize something that is America to its core.
Yes, military flyovers look cool. But taxpayer-funded military hype for private sports events is still weird—and a little creepy. https://t.co/FFI2IMbKSE

A German tourist is blowing up on X because he is here for the World Cup games. He is having a great time discovering the things that are quintessentially American and the flyover was one of them. Wet blanket Alex had to try and ruin it.

You know that guy spent way too much time in those in high school.
Common misconception that these flyovers are an additional expense. In reality, these pilots need flight hours and flyovers demand precise coordination not entirely dissimilar from some operational mission sets.

In other words, it’s okay to just think flyovers are neat. https://t.co/S30rJIbMRs
Look at that! You can actually enjoy something and not complain about it.
No, it’s not weird and it’s not creepy. Stop being such a femme. https://t.co/BoatBiOVMP

Sometimes it's ok to just be quiet.

This is actually *so* normal and not weird that it’s one of the only things an ancient Roman/Greek/Persian would find instantly familiar if you dropped them in the present day https://t.co/oQLnHkAO3H

It's a show of national strength.
This is incredibly incorrect.

Watch my video where I embedded with a unit of A-10s to see how they conduct a flyover.

They're usually done as part of training missions, dingus, so they don't cost taxpayers anything.

Tell you what: try to go one day, JUST ONE DAY, without hating on America because you don't like Trump. Just one.
See if you can do it. https://t.co/Oie1RF9ry9
Exactly. It's ok to love your country even if you don't love the President. Republicans managed to do it when Biden was the POTUS.
Creepy?!?!

Military flyovers are “creepy” now?
That’s like calling fireworks a psychological attack or getting triggered by someone waving an American flag because it’s “too aggressive.”
Some people are so terminally online and allergic to patriotism that a few jets honoring… https://t.co/S9zX7i812W

They repurpose a scheduled training flight to be a stadium flyover instead. It doesn't cost the taxpayers anything extra. https://t.co/jji7vYcH5w
Leave the flyovers alone.
