As much as I've enjoyed their shows over the years, money is tight all over and while $20 million might seem like not much, it all adds up eventually.

So do they lose money at shows? Do you not have to pay for them to do a show?

The primary purpose of Blue Angels is a recruiting tool. If I recall correctly form my days as a Navy Pilot, their budget for operations is contained in the Naval Air Training Command budget.

All so we can provide degenerates with free phones and tattoo removal.
How about we stop funding bullshit “global warming” research, and give that money to the military? |

I've been going since the late 1970's. Love the Angels and Thunderbirds. Recruiting tool, pride, public relations, etc...I don't mind them spending MY money on them. They should cut Moochelle's AF trips and vacations.

White House sources today claimed that the First Lady has spent $10million of U.S. taxpayers' money on vacations alone in the past year.

Pretty f*cking pathetic that we will cut a 67 year Navy tradition and wouldn't dream of cutting even a dime from the lazy piles of shit who do nothing but cash a government check. Thanks liberals! |

Full disclosure: I've seen the Blue Angels several times at the annual airshow at Ellington Field here in Houston. Those guys are awesome and put on a Hell of a show. |

Yea, great in theory... the problem is that when it comes down to it, only 1 side actually loses while the other is more than happy to redistribute anything that was saved either to feed their demented Robin Hood complexes or to buy some more votes. Usually both simultaneously.
