USAF Reduces Air Show Support in 2012

Sad news! Are we witnessing the beginning of the end... ? :cry:

All ACC single ship demos will stand idle in 2012 except for the F-22 Raptor. Read the official statement in the link:

Similarily sad story in USA Today from about a week ago:

The RAF is sadly going that way too buddy.
I had a good chat with "top brass" earlier this year about virtual air shows and what the VRA do and he said it's moving towards that what with funding and environmentalists etc.

A sad day indeed if it happens...
