Too bad! The XB-70 is one of my favorites and is located in one of those areas.

Planes grounded - but we still have to maintain them and pay and support the Airmen. Another BHO BS scam!

As Obama goes on vacations, not grounding Air Farce One, and illegal aliens getting food stamps is known, this “hurt them until they vote for my budget” thing is backfiring.

Using the military as a half-assed economic assistant is a lousy use of taxpayer money.

Spend the military budget on national security. Cut the fluff.

If memory serves me correctly, currently in the world there are 42 countries that have aerial demonstration teams. South Korea, Greece, Italy, Mexico, New Zealand, Canada, Argentina to name but a few. There is only 1 nation that has grounded it’s demo teams because it can’t afford them... Obama’s America.
The airshow in Myrtle Beach cancelled this summer. When the Thunderbirds cancelled the sponsors cancelled. Huge economic impact..
Disgusting.

This is the type of thing liberals wanted from day one.

They would prefer to see no military, and all the money spent on it being used for, as Ann Coulter puts it, “their comically useless entitlement programs”.

This is just one more way for them to impact the military via reducing their visibilty and reducing their enlistments.
