Who would pay for it? DND does flypasts for free as it is considered recruiting/public awarness (if you pretend like you aren't paying for it through your taxes). Restored warbirds operate on money, and lots of it. If the cost of a flypast went beyond free tickets to the game, flypasts would be a thing of the past.
