No Blue Angels/Thunderbirds this year due to the sequester BS. Have the Black Diamonds as a substitute instead. In fact, there's no military fly bys or demonstrations on the schedule.
Seems like it's gonna be pretty pathetic compared to years past.

Military aircraft cannot be involved in any airshow UFN, therefore Alliance had two choices:
1. CANX the show altogether.
2. Have the show without military aircraft.
So Alliance decided that they are still capable of putting on a decent show with just civilian performers, which beats not having a show at all imo. In fact, I challenge you to find a better show lineup not involving the military in the entire world. The folks at Alliance are doing their best to put on a good show with the constraints they're given. So if you're going to bitch about a pathetic schedule, don't blame Alliance, blame your government.

Don't worry, I am and do. Note, "sequester BS".

Was going to go up and watch some of the practice today on top of our 8 story tall elevator shaft but the earlier lightening motivated me to stay on the ground.
Was washing my stang today and a Hind flew over. THat was an odd feeling. Then i get on here and realize theres a air show tomorrow! lol. Anywho. I am looking to take my wife and 2 yoa to it tomorrow (saturday). Anyone have prices on it?
