DUE TO FEDERAL BUDGET CUTS, THE U.S.. AIR FORCE THUNDERBIRDS….ONE OF THE BIGGEST ATTRACTIONS AT THE CALIFORNIA INTERNATIONAL AIRSHOW SALINAS, WON’T BE FLYING THERE THIS YEAR. A STATEMENT ON THE PRECISION FLYING TEAM’S WEBSITE SAYS SEQUESTRATION CUTS HAVE CAUSED OFFICIALS TO CANCEL 60 FLYING DEMONSTRATIONS, SO THEY CAN RE-ALLOCATE THOSE FLYING HOURS TO “COMBAT-READINESS TRAINING”.
