Totally cool with them not being there. All of fleet week is just a waste of taxpayers dollars, and stupid propaganda.

Also if you happen to live nearby it’s very obnoxious how loud it is.

Buuuuut it is kinda fun, public, free to attend, and interesting for those who enjoy aviation and the like.

Plus we can have roughly 286 fleet weeks for the cost of a dictator's ballroom. Talk about a waste.

Imperialism is bad, not something to be proud of.

Technology is a wonder.

The last time I saw the blue angels in SF, all I thought about was how they are basically showing off how they would bomb other countries and what it would be like to be bombed...only without the bombs.

We may get to experience that firsthand yet…
