Texas A&M Fly-by at Mississippi State Game
Since the sequester
funding kicked in early this year, “Fly-Bys” at sporting events have been
banned by the Obama Administration as a way to, in my opinion, punish the
conservative public. Not surprisingly, since
that time Texas A&M has continued fly-bys at its home football games using volunteers
flying vintage aircraft from the Commemorative Air Force or privately owned
restored aircraft and experimental aircraft. This last weekend (November 9, 2013) at the last home game for 2013 Texas
A&M played Mississippi State. The
plane below did the pre-game fly-by during the National Anthem.
At first blush, during the fly-by my thought was, “well I
guess with the new budget deal and no debt ceiling, military fly-bys have
returned. It wasn’t until the end of the
third quarter when the air crew was introduced did we learn that this was the
ultimate in your face by Conservative Texans and Texas A&M. The plane is not a US Air Force plane, it is
owned by a private citizen and fellow Texan H. Ross Perot, Jr. and was flown by one of his pilots with Texas Governor, Rick Perry sitting in the back seat as co-pilot! God I love being a Conservative Aggie and living in Texas!
Gig Em!
