Air Combat Command Announces Cuts

ACC Announcement via Airshow Buzz

Short Version: Viper E/W .. A-10 E/W .. Strike Eagle demos are gone for 2012.

TBirds and one Raptor team will remain.

Now we wait for the Navy shoe to drop.

they gotta cut somewhere, that embassy in Baghdad ain't cheap.

it's a darn shame

Sad stuff...I guess with all the noises about loosing the Blues, at least we know we still have the T-Birds.

Well, for what it's worth here is a link to a petition to increase funding for AF demos: https://wwws.whitehous​e.gov …url&utm_campaig​n=shorturl

As much as I would love to jump on the soap box and rant, I will attempt to behave myself.

So I won't hold my breath for a EU tour!

Blues are ok for another year:

Unfortunately, if I expressed my opinions on the budget cuts and the reasons for them, I'd be treading into the realm of prohibited discussion... Suffice it to say, I'm not pleased about this either, but reality sometimes isn't what we'd like.
