Sounds like a good show, in the air and static displays on the ground. You don't have to buy the $4500 two day chalet, you can get a ticket for $10.
I see Deke Slayton's name as providing the suck to be chosen as one of the invitations the Navy/Pentagon decides to honor, but he's dead so who's running the show? And who's profiting?
After the expenses of insurance, portable toilets, trash pickup, fencing and other logistics, like invitation only black tie parties, where does the money go?
The website says, "The airshow benefits charities and organizations." Hmm, "charities", that should be cool, although which ones and for how much, can be abused. But "organizations", that reeks of politics.
OK, who benefits, politically, monetarily, and socially?
