[MilCom] Thunderbirds providing CAP?

[Joe Cobb]

They don't do CAP's for NASCAR events.  CAPS are
almost a thing of the past unless it's a HUGE (doesn't
happen very often) event.  The POTUS doesn't even get
one anymore, at least here in Nashville.  That doesn't
go for other places of course.

I would also like to know where the info of armed
aircraft performing flyovers also doing a CAP of the
same event?  I've never heard of it.  I don't think
the US brass would allow it, being too close to the
public eye, armed flyovers.
