A B-2 costs $169,313 per hour to operate and are only based at Whiteman AFB, Missouri. Estimating a two hour flight time each way plus loitering over DC gives a conservative cost estimate of $850,000 for just the bomber. The fly over US Person saw on television included two F-22s which cost $33,538 per hour to fly. On the mall for the Fourth of Me: B-2 'Sprit', two F-35Cs, two Super Hornet F-18s, four Apache helicopters, two F-22 Raptors, H-60 and H-65 helos, along with the Navy's Blue Angels aerobatic team, Abrams tanks and Bradley APCs, and Air Force One. The Pentagon refuses to provide a cost estimate for this vulgar, militaristic display on the mall; but the Park Service lost $2.5 million from its budget to help fund it. Veto's bizarre, plutocratic nightmare* needs to be pulled off stage ASAP.
