Camus272 Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Wow that is painful. Only one team at 20 shows, that is sad (and that's assuming the Raptor can do it unlike this year). I thought this years cut of only one team per show was bad enough. I was really hopong to see the Strike Eagle at least. Brian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bigasshammm Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Wonder what the 20 shows are going to be? I highly doubt one of them will be Cleveland so I'll be out of luck. I'd like to see the 22 but don't travel that often. Any news on the Navy? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wolfgun33 Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Guess i'm screwed as well. Not that the Raptor is even gonna be able to make the shows to begin with. What about static displays? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Camus272 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 (edited) Static displays just come from whoever is available, so I don't think the will be effected. I imagine the C-17 demo and the flyovers will be cut too. I wish they could have just cut out the East coast teams and reduce the others to the old F-22 schedule (2009) and not dedicate particular aircraft to the team. At least we would have a chance to see an A-10, F-15, or F-16. Brian Edited December 2, 2011 by Camus272 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FlyARGuard Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Makes sense. I just wish Tops in Blue were first on that list. We are about to see changes in the military like we have never seen before. Its gonna get ugly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ST0RM Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Makes sense. I just wish Tops in Blue were first on that list. We are about to see changes in the military like we have never seen before. Its gonna get ugly. Yep. Tops in Blue is a huge waste of money and manpower. Get back to your primary job or get out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aggressor Supporter Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Bad news indeed. I never get tired of seeing the Eagle, Viper and Warthog demos in person. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
