Thunderbirds and Blue Angels cancel 2013

Two of the finest teams in the world cancel due to budget cuts

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)

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.
