Default One casuality of the budget cuts - Flyovers!

Y! SPORTS

Too bad.
LOVED the flyovers.
Good training for the young guys too for the coordination aspects.

Don't know about you - but I got training and so did the new guys I flew with sometimes. I guess if you did them and didn't get anything out of them that is unfortunate.

Obviously this is turning political, so in an attempt to prevent this thread from devolving into a partisan hyperbolical debate lets just say that the spending problem in Washington is one that stretches through many, if not all, departments/branches of our federal Government.

Guilty parties can be found in both political parties, but at this point I've had my fill of finger pointing and I'm interested in some viable, realistic solutions to fix this economy, our budget, and unemployment.

Unfortunately, I don't see this happening in the next four years.

Well, the MIL, the MIC and flyovers isn't a part a solution, so why aggrandize losing them as if they are actually of value.....

Why not allow citizens to vote for candidates as well as what departments their tax dollar are to be used....

It's not intended as consumerism or training, it's intended as a recruiting tool, maybe with a little show-the-flag thrown in.

If we're making big cuts, recruiting will be a low priority.
