[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Simple. Locate you nearest AF Base and ask them to have a B-2 or F-16 fly over. One not enough? Send a squadron.[/FONT]​
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]The Defense Department calculates the hourly reimbursement cost for each branch's aircraft — rates used to charge nongovernmental organizations or civilians for events, such as flyovers at sporting events.[/FONT]​
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]The Air Force plane with the highest rate is the E-4B airborne command center, which costs $73,123 an hour.[/FONT]​
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Heavy bombers, such as the B-1B and B-2A, are also really expensive, likely based on fuel and crew costs. [/FONT]​
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]In October, the Defense Department comptroller released the latest reimbursement rates for each service branch's planes and helicopters. [/FONT]​

Oh my!

Rather expensive for fly-overs.

I'd much rather go up for a ride in one. An F15 2-seater would be exciting. It would probably send me to the hospital, if I were lucky.

Not me! I’m not afraid in the big planes but I am in small ones.

Dont even like the puddle jumpers which are about 13 seats, I think. That’s the smallest plane I’ve been on.

edit: well, maybe not 13 seats that would be an unlucky number in a plane.:)

Aww, c'mon CC, it's a jet bomber! I'll even let you drive!

We live in an area that the local Air Base....Whiteman AFB...uses for a lot of training flights. It's not uncommon to see a pair of A10's zipping overhead at a fairly low altitude, and at least once a week I see a B2 bomber flying past. Years ago, when I was stationed in Germany, the base offered a ride in the back seat of an F105F to the Airman of the Month. I played the textbook role of an Airman for 3 or 4 months, and won a 45 minute ride...What A Hoot!!!
 
The Brits would.

They have two vastly expensive carriers, or as I prefer to call them, real time torpedo targets, with no aeroplanes to go with them.

We're hing to buy from you (what price your President's trade sanctions?) but in the meantime we may have to ask France for help!

And people think the Donald is exaggerating when he says the US is propping up NATO!
