Heard it might be the last one for awhile but have to wonder how or why it can even be put on when the country is over 31 trillion in debt..

Can’t imagine it even equals pocket change in the big scheme of things considering the bazillions of people free stuff (we pay for) is being given to. A lot of airshow flying to/from and during is counted as “training” flight.
