I'm not saying we shouldn't ever do them, but it should be a special occasion not a regular occurrence. They're great recruiting tools, and they give the tax paying civilians a chance to see what they're paying for...and, they're entertaining... I've seen more than my share of airshows. They operate within a budget, just like everything else in the military. The officers flying the planes get the same salary as any other O3 or O4. I guess you could gripe about the fuel costs, but in the grand scheme of things it's a drop in the bucket... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
