Arlington Flyover
.
Two Air Force Pilots, Major Howard V. Andre Jr. and Major James E. Sizemore, were recently buried at Arlington National Cemetery and were honored with a flyover by civilian pilots. The Air Force pilots were Killed In Action over Laos during the Vietnam War and their remains were only recently discovered and returned for proper burial at Arlington. This Flight of Honor was truly awesome for the other pilots to plan and conduct it.
It's a shame that someone that gives their life can't get a flyover but the White house can congratulate dopers when something happens to them. The president orders all flags to half mast for Whitney Houston when she overdosed. Hard to figure these things out.
All, please take a couple minutes and watch this video from a local news outlet in the Orlando area. I didn't see it on any of the major news programs, but I thought you would like to see it. God bless those who did the flyover and God rest the souls of the two pilots lost so long ago!
What a great thing those heroic Airmen did! I also understand that they covered all the cost including a large amount for the fuel.
It seems things are amiss when the president can spend $16 million on a third vacation this year yet the Air Force cannot afford fuel for this flyover tribute to honor true patriots.

Great to see a tribute for the fallen pilots, makes closure a bit more tolerable. I'm not sure which is worse, learning about a tragic recent loss or a loss that occured years ago. Thanks for your post, nice to hear positive stories rather than negative.

I am very surprised that Obama didn't order that their permits be cancelled.

Not only did Obama NOT order flags at half staff, but republican Chris Christie DID. This is a lie that has been brought up with several deaths, including Houston and Chris Kyle, and you are as guilty as the originators of this lie by passing it on without checking. It's amazing how quick Obama critics are to accept anything negative without checking it out.
By the way, I'm not going to post the Snopes link debunking this, get off your lazy ass and do it yourself.
