I'm not sure about the Navy teams, but the USAF teams are all shut down for the year, and the USAF announced that all flight support for air shows has been canceled.

The Navy, or at least the Marines, don't seem to be as tight, even though they canceled the Blue Angels season. Miramar announced that even though they won't have the Blue Angels this year, they will have an air show and will feature the largest Marine Air/Ground Task Force (MAGTF) demo they've ever had, so they found some money for it somewhere I guess.

USN responded with "There is no Department of Defense support for Airshows at this time"

Erm, The Harrier will be there...

But they can't have a SuperBug Take off for a "routine" training flight, and just do some cool passes and then land?

It will give them the ability to actually do something that weekend, as the airspace will be locked down.

And Im pretty sure these Aerobatic Planes are all going to use Oceana as a Staging point anyway.
