I suppose the latest stuff is too precious to the Pentagon for civilian events.

No, the latest stuff is for defending the country, not for airshows.

That said, I'd really like to see the Blues get the Super Hornet.

Blues wont get the Super Hornet, ever.

The older models are much faster, and more agile. I remember when the A-4s were going out, there were a lot of us who hoped to see Tomcats up there, which would have been the silliest thing in the world, but we wanted to see it anyway.

The Super's are the front line now, and nobody is going to use them for shows, when they are busy with operational duties.

Not true with the Thunderbirds.
