Surprising part is they didn't know those flyovers are training flights.


Flying in a straight line is considered training for pilots that have logged 1000's of hours in their career?

I'm on the side of flyovers but that logic seems nonsense.

What do you think most military flights are

From what I've been told, they almost treat them as simulated bomber runs / flight attachments.

They're simulated bombing/target/strafing runs on a large urban installation you moron.

They do this with plants as well. It's called training. And yes, most airplanes kind of fly in a straight line. It's kind of how they get from point A to point B in a timely manner.

You realize they need to takeoff, land, and probably change directions and altitude during the flight, correct?

Are you fricking stupid? Military flights are routed just like commercial airlines. They go in a circular route to travel a long distance faster. traveling in a straight line takes longer.

They flew in a straight line all the way there and all the way back! Amazing!

We don't know what they did before or after the flyover.
