[MilCom] Springfield IL 2007 Airshow Cancellation

[Joe Cobb]

That's indeed a very sad situation.  Same thing
happened here in nearby Smyrna several years ago then
after a 5 or so year hiatus they attempted to bring it
back every so often.  2005 was a good draw year with
the Thunderbirds but apparently they are not
attempting one this year.
