The problem, is that it is very inconsiderate to fly the airplanes during the ceremony itself, and during matches.

I disagree. It's *also* discourteous to leave soda bottles, food wrappers, [beer] cups, hot dog wrappers, and everything else for the cleaning staff (who will have enough to do regardless)--and if FIRST can do anything at all right, it can teach a generation of kids both to clean up after themselves and to not make more of a mess than they have to.
