protesting blue angels display

Neal Boortz: "Now I don't know about this particular air show, but the usual procedure is for the sponsors of the air show to cover the costs of the performance by the Blue Angels. The air show sponsors have to come up with enough cash to pay for the food and lodging of the entire Blue Angel team plus the fuel costs for flying all of the aircraft, including Fat Albert, to the site of the show. Several years ago I was privileged to take a ride in Blue Angel No. 7 piloted by USMC Capt. (now Major) Len Anderson. True to form, I immediately started catching hell from those who don't exactly like my positions on various subjects for "wasting the taxpayer's dollars." Then, as now, the expenses for that ride were covered by the sponsors of the air show."

one might still be in the right to protest the tax supported purchase of the aircraft...?
