Shame, but to be fair they're expensive to operate. I'd rather see them cut entertainment than actual combat flights (which is probably coming as well)

they cancelled 2013??? are we going straight to 2014...?

Didnt they cancel Thunderbirds a long time ago?

People arent quite as in to marrionettes as they used to be, aside from Team America.

Am I the only one who lost a second there trying to think of who makes a Blue Angels bass? :o

Quoted for the win... you guys see that?

I know what you did there, Matticus...

Seen them both several times.Great shows. They will be back when things improve.

^^^ That was F.A.B.

A real shame, I grew up watching these units perform and they were what inspired my love of aviation.

Yes, they're expensive, but I think they do more for recruiting young pilots than anything else.
