and I live near Pensacola, Florida where they are based and practice. Impressive, awesome and a tremendous waste of money . In addition, why is it necessary for these pilots (which we spent a hellof a lot of money to train) to endanger their lives. This is nothing more than entertainment for the public and a recruiting tool. If they are recruiting for the Navy, then I think there should be a crack team of Marine snipers shooting apples off other Marines heads as a counterpoint . How about dueling army tanks shooting paint-ball out of their cannons at each other.

Silly and wasteful.
