Believe me, the AF wastes tons of money in areas that have zero to do with planes.

While they are at it, get rid of Tops in Blue, Airman Magazine, staff cars for officers, Generals' aides, the Thunderbirds, and the USAF Band. Oh, and stop sponsoring NASCAR...
Or, they could cut stuff Airmen actually want/use/need; like reducing our educational budgets, medical/dental cutbacks, retirement benefits.

Aren't the ICBM nukes administered and maintained by the USAF? If yes then there can be some serious cost savings done by getting rid of most of them and just keeping about 150 or so.

another stab at the F-22.
F-16s, A-10s are all being deployed out, while the F-22 that was supposed to replace them remains home as an Airshow piece (when its not being a static on the ground display.)

Wow, if thats happening on your side of the pond then I guess we'll wave bye-bye to the Tornado role demo, Typhoon solo and the hawk display. Still, at least we're left with the Mighty King Air, Tucano and Tutor..

Well, the navy could trim some fat.
After all, the scale of the US navy still reflects the needs for a navy reminiscent of the Cold War. And as we all know, the Cold War has been over for quite a while now.

Maybe no more flyovers during sporting events?
At least when they're used in movies they have to pay for the fuel and such used.

The Jedi Master Maybe the owner/owners of the sports stadium or the league involved pay a fee for the fly over?
