Do you not do any US Heartland states? (southern Missouri and Illinois, or northern Arkansas, or western Tennessee or Kentucky. The Navy Blue Angels come to the Cape Girardeau, Missouri Air Festival all the time (just this past weekend). I watched the Thunderbirds perform when I was 14 years of age. Now at 49, I was telling my 13 year old son about the Thunderbirds, while watching the Blue Angels. I want my son to see the Thunderbirds perform sometime, but Ohio is a long drive. Please consider demonstrating in the earlier listed states.
Cape Girardeau Air Festival- 860 Rush H. Limbaugh Jr. Memorial Dr. Cape Girardeau, MO 63703- 573-334-6230
