The Missouri state budget for FY2009 K-12 education was about $5.4 Billion dollars (from all funds and not counting local spending). An F-22 costs $360 Million dollars. So it's just about 15 F22s - although the F22 is reuseable.

There actually was an air race category for jets! Unfortunately, the F22 wasn't entered. Would have been nice to see how it would do.

that thing flys so low even ants duck and cover

Pure power. Most jets would fall like a rock doing that.

Hear those twin F119's complaining?

I don't either =)

@PlebScrubber I wonder how much of that money goes to the children of Ilegal Aliens? Don't bother to look, the schools don't ask or don't publish the information.

@eric4ok 5.4 billion dollars on education in missouri?? thats insane!

people from missouri can barely spell their own name, just give them some boxes of crayons

save some money for more F-22s

@DCussen Are you talking about the take off and climb?

[DCussen]

Take that, Eurofighter.

I hear what sounds like a redneck saying "look at that, look at that" while the jet was flipping.

That's one expensive hangar-queen. Each one costs about the same as the 2009 education budget for the state of Missouri. Let that sink in a little bit as you consider what that little flyby cost.
