Technically it's recruiting but because the pilots must fly a certain amount every month

A recruiting tool for these meaningless endless wars. About $450,000 per game.

There was a bit a hoopla a while back because the NFL was charging the military for promotional appearances at their games.

It often counts as training time for the pilots.

In the big picture there really is not real increased cost.
Pilots have to fly a certain amount every month to stay current. The time they put into that flyby counts toward that so those hours are hours that would have been flown anyway.
