The newsworthy part is that it was flying long enough to crash somewhere different to where it took off from.

A Chinese weather balloon was in the airspace, show some sensibility.
chinese fentanyl balloon overdosed the f-35

-$100,000,000 of taxpayer dollars
Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some fifty miles of concrete pavement. We pay for a single fighter with a half-million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people. . . . This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.
another ~~kkkrakkker~~ hospital or five down

Buy a laser pointer and an RC car.
uncritical support to Comrade Gravity in its eternal struggle against the Great $$atan
Come on, I'll waste $100,000,000 better than this. At least it'll be almost as funny.
was surprised the announcer said it over the loudspeaker, at EAA it was supposed to do a demonstration but both the show vehicle and the backup had a last minute problem and couldn't fly
Well, that's one way of landing your aircraft...
Hilarious our "fighter jets" keep dropping like flies...without even being in combat.
"No way our enemy can shoot this down!"
They don't have to bro.
