  1. Why not contact the Air Force Thunderbirds and schedule them for 2012 or 2013? Not everyone wants to join the Navy and I understand they don’t like to recruit in the same city two years in a row.

    What happened to the Golden Knights Parachute team? Aren’t they out of Ft. Campbell?

    You have to look two years out to get the good acts to perform. The city tried to put it together in 90 to 180 days and that is not how it should be done.

    Plan ahead.
