If they really wanted to make the flyover memorable they should use A-10's from Davis-Monthan. People could make bets on whether the flyover or national anthem lasts longer.

The A-10 is a beast. Dont knock it.
F-35’s and F-15E/EX cant get low and slow and put down the grit like an A-10.
They both have their place

i really don't care whos flying the planes men or woman or a mix of men and woman. I'm just tired of all of this crap.
We now have an administration that is ALL about diversity and could care about about qualifications.
Take the press secretary as a prime example. She checks all the diversity boxes and none of the qualification boxes.

Do you think she’s not qualified to fly?

Like to see you do it.

 

[carl]

I'm sure she's qualified and i never indicated that i didn't think she was. I'm just saying i don't care if its men, woman or a mix of both.
I was talking about the unqualified administration appointed members who were not chosen for their qualifications.
Take our transportation Secretary for example.
how do you take a small town mayor with absolutely no background in transportation and make him the secretary of transportation?

Will the players be on their knees when they fly over?

If you are talking about Pete Buttigieg, It's quite obvious why he was chosen

i hope not

 

[Belt Fed]

i hope not

I won't know, i won't be watching.

and lets not forget the nuclear waste disposal guy who wore a dress that got fired for stealing luggage at 2 airports

sorry for taking this thread off the rails.

 

[Belt Fed]

Doesn't bother me that the pilots are women, more power to them.

 

[Skunkhouse]

Male or female, they are still enlisted people

 

[carl]

In My original post I indicated that I didn't care if they were men, woman or a mix of both flying the aircraft.
I'm just tired of this wokeness.

Not knocking it at all. I used to marvel at how slow it could fly and still remain airborne.

 

[HayesGreener]

Some of our finest combat pilots are women. And fierce. I pity our enemies.

 

[Tinyman]

Actually they are commissioned officers, not enlisted.

 

[Gofer]

Seems another intentional attempt to be devisive. All female this year, all Asian next year, all left handed, all whatever next time. Seems pretty stupid to arbitrarily pick people based on an appearance. Criteria for selection should not be sex. How about talent or seniority?

 

[Belt Fed]

How about talent or seniority?

That means nothing to the Biden administration.
