Educated Guessing the “Cost of These Flyovers”

“Dear PoPville,

Not sure if this has been said yet, but rough math puts Wednesday night’s flyovers at nearly $2 million.

And these are supposed to happen throughout the next 15 days.

Not a great use of taxpayer $$$.

Military uses cost per flight hour. B2 alone is$160k- $200k/hour and they likely had two. That alone is $1.2. The others are around $40k-$50k and there were likely 8.

Definitely room for margin of error, but when I ran it by my dad (former A6 pilot) he said $2 mil was a good estimate.”
