Edwards AFB 2004 air show cancelled

The 2004 Edwards AFB open house and air show has been cancelled.

According to the AFFTC commander, Maj. Gen. Pearson, "Our country is
currently engaged in a global war on terrorism, and all of our
military resources and efforts must go toward supporting that cause...
I assure you that the cancellation is not related to organizational
command changes within the Air Force Flight Test Center nor is it
related to any specific terrorist threat."

So, is that admitting that the war on global terrorism was not
a priority when they held the 2001, 2002, and 2003 open house
and airshow? The excuse sounds like a white-wash to me.

The Oct 2005 show is still on. Maybe General Pearson knows something about
the war on terror ending soon that we don't?

I doubt it. Looks like the Marines just surrendered again in Iraq.

Actually I would blame the politicians not the Marines, besides the war in
iraq is not the war on terror.

It's one battle in the global war on terror.

Venik, it must be all those aircraft lost over Yugoslavia during 1999?

How is it going with the research on all those lost/missing airframes?
