| #3 I'd wager $100,000 wouldn't cover the required per diem and travel of pilots and crews. |

| #2 Super Bowl flyover to cost taxpayers up to $100,000 Published January 31, 2014/ FoxNews.com Army helicopters from the 101st Airborne will perform a flyover during SundayÂ’s Super Bowl in East Rutherford, N.J., which will cost taxpayers about $100,000, a Pentagon spokesman said. Col. Steven Warren, the spokesman, said these flyovers need to be approved and are still technically on a "restricted" status. The Pentagon sees the Super Bowl as a good venue for potential recruiting benefits, he said. The Pentagon plans on conducting Combat Air Patrol with military fighters around MetLife stadium to enforce the temporary flight restrictions there. Link |
