My brother-in-law flew f14's in the Air Force. He watched the planes practice landings and takeoffs at ITO while he was here. He explained how many hours pilots are required to fly while training, and once trained, and that Hickman to Hilo is a perfect route to get takeoff, landing practice and cruising hours as pilot or copilot.
My nephew is in the army. They constantly fill planes with troops that move around the country for maneuvers, or parachute practice, or in choppers to shimmy down ropes. It's more training and readiness. It probably happens thousands of times a day at various bases around the country, and around the world.
What do you think 500,000+ soldiers do with their time all day?
