And you think fuel for your van is expensive! These guys not only burn a lot of in aerobatics, they, and their support team, are constantly flying all over the country. These guys really piss me off. Especially the way training budgets are always the first to be cut. These guys should be running a Top Gun school, teaching the art of dogfighting and perfecting killers, not barnstorming air shows. Yeah, yeah, I know its supposed to be good for recruiting. But I think teaching kids to survive combat is more important. I don't know how much money we spend on advanced aerial combat training, but I'd be willing to bet we could double it by putting these planes in warpaint and putting them to work. http://www.blueangels.navy.mil/img/photos/gallery/aircraft/aircraft_04.jpg
