[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes it was the Blue Angels but the purpose was a photo shoot. That's why there were 6 jets flying in formation and then a 7th over to the side -- the 7th jet was a photography unit. They did flyovers of the Washington Monument and the White House for sure, likely to get photos of the gets aligned with those landmarks. I would bet they also did photos with the Capitol and other parts of the National Mall as well, given the number of flyovers.

It cannot be stated enough how expensive that was.

I would also assume some of the motivation has to do with the current rebrand of the DoD as "Department of War" and a desire to show off some of our most expensive weapons of war in a way they can associate with this administration. The photography plane also indicates they were taking relative close ups of the planes, potentially with pilots visible in the photos. I am wondering if Hegseth or other VIPs were in the planes.

The entire thing was a very, very expensive branding exercise. Paid for with tax payer dollars while vital federal services are either paused or being performed by unpaid workers at the moment.[/quote]

They are making assets to put on social media when they want to claim that DC is under attack, so the upcoming war will be justified.[/quote]

Nah, this is just for propaganda. When they want to start the war, they'll use AI.[/quote]
