Red Arrows banned from olympics - British PC strikes again

Did you look at the title of the group before pressing
the send button?

For glider pilots who aren't Sun readers, plane spotters
or military fanatics the Red Arrows are a nuisance
who cause large parts of the country to be blocked
off by Notam on a regular basis.

The Red Arrows are British Ambassadors recognised the
world round as a
demonstration of excellence in synchro flying. I think
all the key words
needed are in that sentence...

Not quite so - I actually quite enjoy their shows like the one they
displayed in September in Switzerland.

But then, I don't fly where they train :-)

Ann,

You forgot: taxes to support them; air- and noise-pollution from those
nasty engines; crowded roads to and from the demonstrations; anxiety
caused to the local fauna; and the number one reason--those Arrow dudes
are way cooler than you could ever be, say all the local girls.
