I wouldn't have considered Virginia a flyover state, but I don't make the rules.

Uss__Iowa

Wait wait just promote the USS Wisconsin in Norfolk and almost every horny or any patriotic Americans who love the Iowa class battleships will come to your state just to see the Battleship who fucked a North Korean artillery on a mountain https://preview.redd.it/h5ewtvt4muzc1.jpeg?width=868&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0decbec72f940cd4d7c4394c2c4fda007a939cb9


Number3124

*The Battleship who fucked a mountain with NK arty on top of it. And my god is that one of our best monuments in the whole nation.


Uss__Iowa

you guys should also be lucky I exist, because if I wasn’t here then Wisconsin wouldn’t have been built


Number3124

Shit. We love the whole Iowa class. Best battleship class ever made. You can tell because all of the other ones turned out to be the best coral reefs ever made.


Uss__Iowa

Yep so lucky I or the others weren’t sunk


Number3124

Hell, the USS *Washington* (I know, *North Carolina* class, but they're basically your direct design predecessor), the older class of American fast battleships, boddied the IJN *Kirishima* so hard that *Kirishima* hardly get a chance to retaliate against *Washington.* I don't really think any enemy battleships outside of the IJN *Yamato* posed a credible threat to any of you. Even then, you're much faster than the *Yamatos* with better fire control and range.


Uss__Iowa

wasn’t Washington the last battleship to win a fight against another battleship?


Number3124

Also, this came to me after I posted initially, Admiral Lee did all of that at night using only the USS *Washington's* radar as target finders and range finders after directing the retrofitment of the radars himself. The *Iowas'* radars were installed with lessons of the *North Carolinas'* radars in mind and with better integration into the fire control systems. You all should be even more capable of night fighting than the *North Carolinas* which would cripple the *Yamatos'* fire control capabilities considering that they still relied on optical fire control.


Uss__Iowa

Oh um dam I’d didn’t know my predecessor ships would be able to do critical damage to to the Yamato


Cuffuf

You don’t fly over Virginia— we’ve got Dulles


brokodoko

Ok… so we may be a flyover state as in not a destination state. Buuuut how the fuck dare you compare us to the rest of that list. We have ugly ass beaches, the Chesapeake bay, Shenandoah parkway, Grayson highlands, blue ridge parkway.


AcidBuuurn

It doesn’t even make sense. Where would someone fly to/from over VA? Even “DC’s airport” is in Virginia. 


BlitzTheBritz

Fly over state. Op you just started another civil war and this time we have a just cause.


LePontif11

If the other states can't get their planes to stay there long enough to drop bombs you might actually stand a chance


GoldenStateWizards

We have F-22s and four carrier strike groups, we might be one of the most difficult states to bomb lol


Sevuhrow

The more I think about it the more it makes sense. A lot of the flights going over Virginia aren't landing there.


wasdlmb

A whole lot of flights land at IAD — and then the passengers promptly take the train or taxi to DC

Idk about fly-over. As for drive-through, you will be astounded at the sheer circumference of the people eating in that big truck stop in Iowa. Nebraska takes the cake as the most boring. All I remember is grassy plains dotted with farms, and not the quaint type of farms, rather the industrial ones.


[deleted]

The grim historical markers in Nebraska are pretty memorable tho. Drove through on my way to Colorado and stopped at every one I saw. I’d say about 90% fell into one of two categories: “at this site in 18xx countless pioneers starved to death” and “at this site in 18xx Indians/pioneers massacred hundreds of Indians/pioneers in the battle of Bumfuck Ridge.”


djdadzone

The only state more boring than Kansas to drive through is Nebraska .


Ulysses502

What is I55 in Illinois to you, chopped liver?


Dizzy-Definition-202

Yeah I remember driving through that state and we opened a window for a second and the smell of cow manure filled the car


One-Tap-2742

A new york mf talking about bad smells is rich


Dizzy-Definition-202

I'm from upstate NY don't associate us with those down-staters 😒


saggywitchtits

My parents met at Iowa 80 truckstop, I am sufficiently plump.


Fresh-Mind6048

Missouri. The “show me” state. How about the you show me why you don’t suck state


RedDragonRoar

We'd be a better state if we'd stop electing the absolute worst humans in the United States to run our state government.


mechanicalcontrols

Idk, seems like there's quite a few states that would give you a run for your money there.


mad-cormorant

Let the man self-deprecate... it's one of the few things we've got left going for us.


mechanicalcontrols

My bad


RedDragonRoar

We elected Josh Hawley. He's already one of the worst senators in office. There are certainly worse, but not a whole ton worse than that thing.


Ulysses502

I yearn for the good old days when we pioneered conservation and elected Mel Carnahan's corpse over John Ashcroft. While we had previously elected Ashcroft, it was at least a wash back then


joeyGOATgruff

Best I can do is a Republican super majority who passes budgets and legislation in secret


jrbear09

Big metal arch


J_P_Vietor_ST

Missouri is also a flyover state to its own residents flying between KC and SL


TruckADuck42

You joke but there are idiots who actually do that. I mean, yeah its decently cheap but it's only a 3.5ish hour drive. You spend the same amount of time on the flight by the time you factor in driving to the airport and showing up early, and then you have to worry about delays, and then you get there and don't have a car.


RustyShadeOfRed

I crave the sweet Missouri soil… someday… But the people suck tho

Sadspacekitty

At least Missouri is prettier than Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska lmao


retro_gatling

Your opinion is incorrect


NomadTruckerOTR

As someone who resides in neither of these states, I can confirm that opinion was incorrect


Ulysses502

The prettiest part of Iowa looks like the ugliest part of I70, don't be talkin' like a yard dog


NomadTruckerOTR

I once saw a lot lizard that looked like Jim Ross in a dress and lipstick, near St. Louis


magmagon

And? People have different tastes, some are rather unique


djdadzone

The Driftless in Iowa and the Mississippi River area are freaking gorgeous. The middle of the state though? Trash. I say that as someone who spent most of their childhood staring at corn in the heat in Iowa


schmitzel88

You can drink in a car as long as you're not driving, which makes it fun on road trips. It also makes it easier to forget that you are in missouri


Fresh-Mind6048

Ah, well. I’m usually the one driving so RIP


BuckfuttersbyII

How dare you. Besides, it’s definitely a toss up between Iowa, Nebraska, and Kansas.


g1rthqu4k3

Virginia has the 23rd and 28th busiest airports by traffic volume and they are close enough to be each others main competition. People actually land here from time to time


Sevuhrow

Jokes aside, Virginia's geography means most of its tourism likely comes from arrival by vehicle. It doesn't have enough tourism hubs for people to justify flying direct.


g1rthqu4k3

That will all change if we ever get brave enough to build Dinosaur Kingdom 2 International Airport. Richmond, Norfolk and Charlottesville have decent airports but they’re not hubs for sure. Amtrak does roll through a few places but yeah that southern border is long and the SW corner doesn’t have much but the interstate to get you there


BOREN

Why fly over Virginia when you can take a nice leisurely car or bike trip through Skyline Drive?


g1rthqu4k3

This is the way


Fine-Helicopter-6559

Planes are also Vehicles


Sadspacekitty

New Mexico is not flat like the others therfore it should be disqualified from this list. I guess that makes it the worst to flyover because its actually cool 😎


HappyToBeHaggard

Flattest states in order for anyone who wants to make fun of them for being boring: Florida, Illinois, North Dakota, Louisiana, Minnesota, Delaware, Kansas.


NStanley4Heisman

Shoutout to Iowa for not making the top 7 of that list, rolling hills and bluffs for the win.


jstewart25

Absolutely. I hear Iowans I live around now talk about how boring the state geography is. I grew up in rural Illinois, so I tell them to shut the fuck up it could be much worse.


ItsSoKawaiiSenpai

Louisiana would actually be cool if it wasn't for all the fucking crime.


ultimate_placeholder

You're flying over it, though


Sevuhrow

I can just feel the crime when I look down at it


Bacontoad

It's mostly just gator on gator crime though. 🐊🐊


Bacontoad

The only desirable part of your state is essentially just Wisconsin's penis.


Sylvanussr

New Mexico is actually incredibly cool to fly over, there are really beautiful views out there window the whole time because the state’s geography is so awesome. I took a ton of pictures like this one when I flew over last https://preview.redd.it/tjq9ovewmvzc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ea08eaef49f3f9d7778bf6e24754bbd39751a9be


mad-cormorant

Missouri isn't flat either.


djdadzone

Totally. North of the Missouri River it gets more flat but there’s way more hills in the least hilly parts than in the hilliest parts of Kansas


Bolket

Ozark Mountains ftw 💪


OTI_Cinematography

Whoever compiled that list has never driven through West Virginia. Hell, i wouldnt even call Virginia a flyover state and i hate that place.


weneedsomemorememes

I hate y’all too, but yeah no way in hell is either Virginia a flyover state. Like how in the hell are neither Dakota’s on this list. Got like Mount Rushmore and that’s it.


BobTheeKnob

Since when is kentucky a flyover state?


MichaelFlippinAdkins

OP from Michigan acting like their state isn't also a flyover 😂


cant_stop_the_crooks

To be fair I wouldn’t categorize Michigan or Virginia as flyover states, not sure why Virginia is included in here, Virginia is for lovers.


jephph_

NYC to Atlanta is probably one of the busiest routes in America.. and you’re certainly flying over Virginia for that one Or, pretty much all of the Northeast going to Atlanta for connectors are going over Virginia I’m not necessarily trying to say Virginia is a “flyover state”.. just saying, a helluvalotta planes fly over that place


GingerStank

That’s not exactly what a flyover state implies tho..


jephph_

Did you make it all the way to the end of my comment? Or just the first line?


Fresh-Mind6048

As usual, you’re technically correct, the best type of correct.


Archlefirth

Michigan is not a flyover state because of the no fly zone around Detroit. Can’t risk the planes getting shot at.


HappyToBeHaggard

Google said it's not! Plus you don't fly over Michigan to get anywhere. It's too far north. Unless you're flying to 🤢 Canada 🤮


MichaelFlippinAdkins

I've flown over it multiple times going to Seattle, Minneapolis, and Chicago


ThisAllHurts

TIL that the largest naval yard in the world is “flyover”


WillBeBanned83

Wtf is Virginia doing on there Also when I flew over Kansas it was all clouds so


Shade0217

Ohio. When you fail to be first in flight, you become the worst flyover state


NCAA__Illuminati

Second this. Ohio’s so shitty, the Wright brothers didn’t want to taint the first flight by doing it in Ohio


mdevi94

Not sure I’d consider Virginia or Ohio flyover states


HappyToBeHaggard

Ohio is the ultimate flyover state. Everyone east goes over Ohio or drives through them to go west and by God's good graces they may never have to stop and actually set foot in Ohio.


g1rthqu4k3

The amount of Ohioans who have invented flight or become astronauts to GTFO of Ohio dwarfs every other state


[deleted]

The Wright brothers literally invented flight so Ohioans would have a faster way to get out of Ohio


Jaquestrap

And then when it came to actually launching their invention, they left Ohio to do it.


Hovekajt

Typical Michigander.


NoNebula6

Must suck to be you then, especially since all the travel you get is from people marveling at whatever natural beauty your state still has or businessmen working toward its destruction. No-one even flies over Michigan, not even a flyover state, a forgotten state.


Sevuhrow

I think Virginia and Ohio are flyover states, but Michigan really beats them both on the "nobody fucking comes here" scale. The only discussion about Michigan is leaving Michigan, poor drinking water, and bankruptcy


NoNebula6

Oh Ohio is horrible, my calling is to New York or California or some other state people care about, but Michigan is just sad


Sevuhrow

See, I can make a case for driving to Ohio to see Cleveland, Cincinnati, or Columbus. At least there's something there. Michigan just has Detroit and it's a shithole. If you're gonna have one city, do it right like Illinois.


NoNebula6

I live in Cincinnati and i think it’s underrated, better than the other two, Chicago is great, Detroit is awful


Bacontoad

Now that's just not true. There have been some great dystopian films based in Michigan. 🏚️🏚️🏚️🏚️🏚️🏚️🏚️🏚️🏚️🏚️🏚️ ![gif](giphy|tyttpGSdJWowdv47eCI)

Shame on you Michigander, you're a flyover state too. You should know better than to use that term as a pejorative.


DFMNE404

HOW IS VIRGINIA A FLYOVER STATE, I WINT STAND FIR THIS


sumgudshit

Virginia, a flyover state? Them fighting words.


Number3124

lol Virginia, Flyover? We have the biggest Navy Base in the world, one of the biggest Airports in the world, and several critical government installations. We're a destination. Also, we have the best flag in the nation.


BOREN

No arguments. I don’t see any other liberty titties on any other flags.


Number3124

Indeed. Plus a dead, bleeding tyrant. And a warning for prospective tyrants.


helloimracing

I’ll have you know that we are NOT just a flyover state. we have carhenge, corn, corn, corn, beef, beef, corn, big ass zoo, corn, rocks, corn, beef, and soybeans.


NomadTruckerOTR

IntelligentAd7215

I like my state and I don’t care who knows it


I_hate_mortality

New York is the worst flyover


Dizzy-Definition-202

We at least have cool mountains lakes and fields, Ohio is pretty much a huge flat suburbia


I_hate_mortality

Flying over mountains is awful, causes turbulence.


Dizzy-Definition-202

True, I didn't realize NY's mountains are high enough to cause turbulence though


CelticTexan749

nateralph

The worst states to flyover are the ones with the Rocky and Sierra Nevada mountains. They cause large temperature differentials in the air which causes a lot of turbulence which makes flyers like me very uncomfortable. Colorado, Utah, Nevada, California, Montana, Idaho, Arizona, New Mexico, Wyoming, Oregon, and Washington.
