Jackson’s Blue Angels air show canceled

The U.S. Navy’s Blue Angels air show scheduled for May 11-12 in Jackson, Miss., was canceled March 6 by officials of the Jackson Municipal Airport Authority through a media release. JMAA stated that uncertainty related to impacts of the federal budget sequestration requirements, support from the various local participants, and other funding, were the reasons for JMAA’s action to cancel the show. The Navy had canceled four Blue Angels shows for the month of April. Source, Pensacola News Journal, March 7, 2013.
