It sucks regardless of whether it happens or not, looks like the same might happen to the Red Arrows here in the UK... (Red Arrows grounded) .

On a funny side.. The Red Arrows were always better

Yes, it really is a lot easier flying a basic training aircraft, like the Hawk, as opposed to a front line, combat proven fighter jet, such as the F-18C! . Riding a tricycle is much easier than a full fledged bicycle! .

Ok, if you guys want to be "accurate" which is itself in doubt, the military cuts(sequestration) being talked about are the result of CONGRESS' refusal to do it's job. These cuts were mandated by the Congress as a penalty for them not agreeing last year. They were written entirely by the CONGRESS. So if you want to ****, you should be talking about and to your local Congressman. Tell them to get off their soapboxes, quit the posturing and run the freakin country! Preferably, no further into the creek! This particular picadillo is almost entirely on Congress not the POTUS.

So sad to see the loss of the airshows...

This has been brewing for the past forty years because of the mind set of those in control of the beltway. It all started about the time the politicians saw all that cash sitting idle in the social security accounts and tied it to the general fund so they could get there hands on it. All of the politicians in Washington have been on a spending binge ever since, and now we will have to pay the bill, for their fun and vote buying.
