Pilots have to fly regularly to stay current so all the aircraft aren’t costing anything - go for it

It’s equivalent to people screaming about the local police and fire departments displaying trucks, tactical vehicles, equipment, etc to the public during a trunk or treat that is sponsored by the Parish government

One of the things I love is the endless excuses as to why they shouldn't be allowed inside the city. Case in point from USAtoday


If the dims would take a little time to do some research prior to sky screaming:




That's right progs. All your trans puffs better take off their hooker shoes. They are more damaging to the ground then an M1 Abrams battle tank!!

Hell, we had an air show at the base here in Charleston and they had multiple vehicles there as well. Doesn’t cost anything to have a vehicle just sit there.

Is President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho racist with his American flag sleeveless duster and cape combo?

The tracks are expensive to replace and the tank sitting there is not a problem, going straight is not a big deal either, turning will tear the frick out of the asphalt.

Go watch some doziers or excavators work, when they turn using their tracks as they move they tear the ground up

GHW Bush had Patriot Missile Launchers in 1991 in the DC parade so why can't this POTUS? It's not like it's unprecedented or some such BS.

I want to see some drones flying with the original designed Betsy Ross flag trailing behind, right down Pennsylvania Ave

That's why M1's have rubber pads on the tracks to prevent damage. They actually do this not for the benefit of the surface they drive on, but to prevent damaging the tank.

The footprint of the tracks distributes the weight over a larger area then a tire. The contact patch on the average car tire is about the size of a shoe. The rubber tracks on an M1 doesn't damage the road even when turning unless it is a dirt road.

I loved patriotic events and parades as a kid. We had a great one in our town every Fourth of July. The youth needs to experience more of it. The 80s and 90s were epic.
