The "Crap" part is that the release tries to make
this look like a GOOD thing.....

You will still get display aircraft, just from other
sources within the USAF.....

Mildenhall/Lakenheath can do it on their own
along with all the other units that fly in and out
on a regular basis.....

I'm not worried about you guys getting display
aircraft, but I'll keep an eye out, okay??

Still a chance of seeing a B1 flying then?
Fly fast jets and/or C130s over my house please, I'm bored!

Best bet would be to buy a VERY BIG pair of Binoculars! ;)
