Federal budget cuts are beginning to be felt in several areas. The air show at Barksdale Air Force Base might be one of the casualties -- or at least the plan to bring the Navy Blue Angels to town could be in jeopardy.

The Barksdale "Defenders of Liberty" Air Show is this weekend at Barksdale Air Force Base. I never miss it...and watching the pilots maneuver aircraft costing more than I'll make in my lifetime through flames, obstacles and other expensive aircraft, one gets the idea that "its easy." Nothing could be further from the truth!
