Billions from the air force? That's a huge reach, dude. The aircraft they fly over are already going to fly anyway so the pilots meet their minimum flight hours. They use it as training to be at a location at exactly the right time, as if striking a target.

Not to mention that it's advertising.

Like you say, they just add in a fly by to the flight plan. Probably free advertising for the forces 🤣
