• Question:: From the article I gather that generally, flypasts are meant to honor someone or a special occasion. Is there any specific reason why the planes are flying past? From the caption it just sounds like they're flying to an air show, which drastically reduces its EV. Intothewoods29 (talk) 21:18, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

• Oppose looks good but the background is just too distracting. --Uncle Bungle (talk) 15:59, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
