re: F-18 just completed its practice flyover

They most likely aren't actually planning an extra flight. These pilots are flying that day anyway and are simply assigned that particular task to accomplish for their flight.
It's not like they aren't doing anything that day.

It's used for practice, which they have to do anyway. Also a recruiting tool.

Flying out of Belle Chasse?
Might try to stick my head outside at 6:05 to see if I can catch them coming back.

“The short answer is, for any kind of active jet flyover, it’s going to be well over $100,000 — but the real answer could be much more than that. —“

His flight path was interesting and looked cool.
Flew over TS from the North then took an immediate hard right out over the river as he cleared the South side of the stadium.
F-18's can turn on a damn dime

From your own link

Part of this discrepancy is that flyover missions are usually classified as training missions, the costs for which are included in a unit’s operational budget for the year

Oh, just because it is in the “national budget” right. Yeah, we are doing great spending money we don’t have. Free college and Medicare for everyone

How about most flyovers are already allocated as "proficiency sorties"(or weekend cross country) and the DoD was going to spend the money to fly the jets anyway. Only difference is instead of a practice approach, low level, or whatever; the pilots are practicing hitting a TOT in front of the taxpayers @ TS. You don't know what you're talking about.

I could be several different options. If AF using it as a R/R or training then it’s no cost. If LSU requests it there may be some cost.
By the way if the ask to acknowledge danger close!
Get low get small..
