Super Bowl Jet Flyovers<br />
Late Night Jokes<br />
It’s a longstanding tradition for the<br />
U.S. Air Force or U.S. Navy to perform<br />
a fl yover before every Super<br />
Bowl, but how much does such a<br />
thing cost American taxpayers?<br />
In 2015, the Super Bowl fl yover will<br />
cost about $1.25 for every one of the<br />
63,000 football fans in attendance at<br />
the University of Phoenix Stadium in<br />
Phoenix, Arizona, on Sunday, Feb. 1.<br />
Put another way: The Super Bowl fl y-<br />
over costs taxpayers about $80,000<br />
in gas and other operational costs.<br />
“There is a minimal expense involved<br />
with the fl yover,” Rear Admiral<br />
John Kirby, the Pentagon press<br />
secretary and spokesman for the<br />
secretary of Defense, said days before<br />
the 2015 NFL championship<br />
game between the New England Patriots<br />
and the Seattle Seahawks. “I<br />
think the whole thing, soup to nuts<br />
for the fl yover, will cost something<br />
in the neighborhood of $80,000.”<br />

“Tom Brady says he wants to give<br />

Bowl MVP to the guy who won the Super<br />

Pete Carroll.” –Conan O’Brien<br />

sight than a man shedding a<br />
tear with a giant piece of cheese<br />
on his head.” –Jimmy Kimmel<br />
