All flyovers are logged as training flights. Considering that an f-16 will use 1,500 to 1,800 gallons of jet fuel over one hour it comes down to how to pay for the fuel, and the maintenance of the aircraft. Which is not cheap in itself.  By cutting out the flyovers and the visits to airshows around the country the Military is trying to make a point to Congress.  They could have chosen to cut out other training flights but that might not help them in the time of war. You want to blame someone, blame the people in DC.  BTW, the guys flying the planes like doing the flyovers. At least in my unit they did.</p></blockquote><p></p>
