Picked up on the airshow circuit, supported by sources in P'cola. The "Blue angles" were going to fly their scheduled airshow events this summer. The cost is minimal because all fuel, hotels, etc are picked up by the air show promoters. The Navy believes that the US public is more and more separated from the military and going to non-militarty communities is an important mission. They not only fly at their assigned cites, they visit schools hold seminars, and provide a much greater exposure to the country of who is the Navy. Anyway the Birds had cancelled their schedule, and a certain high ranking USAF General thought it would look bad if the "Blues" flew and 'Birds" did not", so DOD, not the Navy canceled the "Blues". Talk about school boy antics!!
