While the Air Farce is capable of many, many insane
and idiotic gestures, without help from my beloved Navy there is
absolutely no way they could have performed a "21 *ship* flyover"
during the funeral processon to the Rotunda on Wednesday.

Dunno about the USAF, but the RAF definitely refer to packages of
aircraft as 'xxx-ship formations'

....That's Englandland. They have a different name for everything.

I know what you mean, though....

....Yeah, it caught a lot of people by surprise where I was watching it
on Wednesday waiting out the heavy rains that moved in. And to be
totally honest, if a bimbo dancer with just three brain cells to rub
together between two fingers can point out that ships don't
fly...well, you get my point.
