Who pays for flyovers. Tax payers or crowd go-ers??
I believe the cost for the flyovers is taken out of the participating branch's recruiting and training budgets. The flights would be flown anyway, as pilots need the flight time, so the fuel usage and strain on the airframe would be incurred either way. Also, you bring the military to the public, which helps in advertising and recruiting.

When you have things like the parachute teams jump into the stadium, the event organizer/host team pays for things like meals and lodging if the team is there overnight or something like that.

That may have changed in recent years, but that was the general rule of thumb a few years back.

That is my understanding too... however if i had some bigtime dollars i'd pay for a flyover of the steal bombers or some A-10s for every game. Always pisses me off when we don't have them. If i were a mexican living in mexico with bunches of money i'd prolly pay americans for a flyover because well they are fkin awesome. Anyone that thinks otherwise is just weird.
