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)

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?

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.
