I was just reading the other day that there is "outrage" that the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds are on shaky ground in regards to budget./funding, and how that "outrage" would most likely prevent it from actually happening because they are "beloved". It's gotta come from somewhere...

If you are an aircraft enthusist there is not much better than either of those. It's really a thrill watching them. I've seen each one a few times. They could charge for their own airshow and make a ton of money. It would probably impact the number of kids entering the military for pilots but probably not worth the cost. As we saw with Mayor Daley's behavior, government does really value sport aviation.

I don't know if I would call myself an aviation enthusiast, but I definitely consider it to be one of my interests. Much more (almost entirely) civil aviation than sport/military, but I understand what you're saying- it does have it's place.
