Business response:
Hi Rocci, yes, sequestration has impacted static displays of military aircraft for all civilian shows. We are sorry you didn't enjoy the other military demonstrations at today's show. Besides the Marine Harrier, we thought the Air Force Wings of Blue Parachute Team, the Coast Guard Dolphin, the Marines C-130 Fat Albert , and the six guys from the Navy flying F/A-18 Hornets did a pretty good job of proudly representing our U.S. Military Forces.

Hi Matthew Baas, we're sorry you were disappointed. You may not be aware that due to the federal budget sequestration, the Air Force is prohibited from sending aircraft for static displays at civilian air shows.

We would love to have Air Force assets like the ones your mentioned on display this year but that is not possible. Thanks for your feedback.
