Americans say military parades are expense but are they more expensive than air shows...

The airshow next to me is always free what hell do you come from?

Well hello there, Satan.

>they more expensive than air shows?
A tank takes a fuck of a lot more logistical headaches to move than an airplane. Nobody just drives the tank, it has to get loaded on a big-ass trailer to be towed by a special truck. That's incredibly heavy, so all sorts of oversize freight hassles are involved, you can't cross most bridges, etc. It's not like you can transport a tank with a normal semi truck and trailer. Ideally you can move them part of the way by rail, but there's still hassles involved with getting them on and off the rail transporters.

Theyre both wastes of taxpayer money but are pretty fun anyways.

A lot of airshows are privately run/sponsored and many of the planes are flown by volunteer/civilian pilots
t. Dad is a pilot and flies in these all the time.

>A tank takes a fuck of a lot more logistical headaches to move than an airplane.

So fucking wrong. Do you know hor much it cost to fly one ppan FOR AN HOUR? 2000 USD on average. Times that for every plane you fly in.

I assure you military planes aren’t just flown in by civilians. Also daddy isn’t going to open his paycheck and gas up an F-15 or B-2

>t. Foreigner

I can tell by the way you type that you have never even set foot on us soil.

>what are warbirds

Air shows are free you lying nigger

Money isn't the issue, you retarded spastic, its getting everything where you need it.

Planes are easy because you can just fly them to where they need to be, and tanks are a monkeyfuck move because of all the extra bullshit needed

Oh I didn’t know warbirds was every airplane or most airplanes as you insinuated at air shows, faggot. Yeah everyone comes to air shows for them and not modern airplanes and helicopters owned and operated exclusively by the military, dumbass.

Then why has literally every airshow I've been to cost me around 15 dollars?

>military dumps a dozen planes on an airshow
>meanwhile a few dozen people show up with their warbirds

Gee, I knew you were dumb, but I didnt know you couldn't count

>planes are easy
>pull a working airframe from on base to another, times that how many planes from other bases
>factor in maintainers from other airframes and each plane has it’s own specific maintenance careerfield
>don’t forget parts as parts do break every sortie
>and TDY costs, hope that squadron can support losing another pilot
>gonna need some Security Forces guys to work overtime to guard and screen the crowds, and protect these different planes until they leave, on top of doing their regular duties
>shut down base operations entirely for at least 4 days
>gotta give these thunderbirds/blue angels 5 star hotels and a police escort.
>better ship in more fuel at this base too. The B-52,B-1,B2 are coming in from 1000 miles away

Vs.

>put M1 abrams on flatbed
>put parade tracks on treads
>give it a full tank of JP-8

If they want to save money from parades tell them to stop doing their denerate faggot parades for a whole month

Your daddy’s podunk airshow with a few Cesnas and WW2 trainers aren’t what we’re talking about. For one they aren’t run by the military and they don’t draw as big of a crowd.

>Do all of what you just said

Wrong CNNigger. Even New York city runs it's veteran's day parade without hardships.
