I guess that's one possible explanation.However,I've read many times that the air shows that the Navy and Air Force hold on a regular basis are mainly meant for recruiting purposes.

A couple of years ago the Blue Angels appeared at an Air Force base about 80 miles from me...and I attended.When it was over I,a guy with a bum ticker and a metal hip,was ready to go down to the recruiter and declare "I wanna fly F-18s"!

The Department of Defense is not shut down. The Defense Budget was passed by Congress and signed into law by the President.
