Stupid budget cuts ...... holding back my political views now .... fingers crossed it all gets back to normal before air show season.

To all of you military jet enthusiasts. we received official word late yesterday the F-22 Raptor demo team has cancelled its appearance at FIAS. A WWII warbird performance and salute to all veterans will be added. (Love pyro!) We have a fantastic group of statics, and one of the best civilian lineups anywhere. Also stay tuned as we work to add another "something really special" you will really enjoy! -Kurt

Mar 12, 2013 20:12 | #15 I guess I will enjoy the warbirds even more this year which I do over the jet aircraft. The Chino Airshow is probably one of my favorite airshows.
