    Yes, United did a flyover at one event with one of their 777s to replace the military flyover. If NASCAR really cared, they could have reached out to one of the many veterans groups in Phoenix for a color guard. I felt like NASCAR went the way of many other professional sports when they bent over backwards for the Bubba Wallace "noose" fraud.

    USAFA vs Army Football game had a privately-funded warbird flyover. Was neat.... but not the same as 4x F22s in full afterburner.

    Why should the tax payers who continue to work pay their salaries.

    It should be ?if you don?t show up.. you won?t get back pay?

    I think fed gov employees like the extra paid time off?

    Should only be paid if they used thier paid leave to cover the days off.
