They're going to try to scramble it together last minute so newspapers can't blast out the several hundred million dollar price tag before it goes down.

    There is a standing army. Where do the costs come from? Like flyovers, it will be an exercise.

    Last time they refused to release the cost breakdown, but quoted 93 million (but that one sounded smaller).

    So other than expenses faced by any parade, I don't know details. Transporting the vehicles, road prep and repair (city cost seemed like a big part of it), they might all get paid for anything not routine.

    Either way, captain bonespurs can run a parade up his own ass
