It's a shame, but inevitable, I guess. |

The Navy will shut down the Blue Angels before the Admirals give up their airborne gigs. The fleet of executive jets the military has is rather large, perks before anything.

Shows have cancelled, I expect probably all the AFB shows to do the same. |

Shows and demo teams were a waste of money that could be better spent other places!

I wouldn't doubt it. I've read comments that future generation fighters will be manned by computers and ground controlled. They are cheaper to build and just as affective. |

They will not have shows with drones although the drones are on display in many shows. lol F16 demos were stopped last year as well as some others, all while we are sending money, planes and tanks to other countries. Hardly makes sense to me. |

I thought maybe they would use some to spy on you in the parking lot. Catch you chugging a beer before leaving.
