Taking the control towers away do to buget cuts I can deal with . The thunderbirds and blueangels come on. At 180,000 bucks per hour on airforce one I think the president needs to stay home more.

That's sad! Some things build national pride and should be priceless! :(

At least the Snowbirds are still going for now in their 1950's trainer jets! :roll: At least you guys always had state of the art jets for your teams!

If they cut the stuff that didn't matter nobody would care. That's why they cut the stuff that gets attention. Ridiculous but effective.

The part that really blows me away is how a budget cutback works. They PLAN to get say 8% more a year. If they only get 4% it's considered a cutback. What a joke.
