LiveAirShowTV talks sequestration

By Ben Sclair · May 1, 2013 ·

PFLUGERVILLE, TX – “Air shows have been cancelled from coast to coast. The military jet demo teams and single-ship demo teams and jumpers are grounded. Who would have ever thought that would happen”, said LiveAirShowTV President Jeff Lee. “It’s a season where some of the most successful air shows in the country will not have an event this year.”

While at Sun ‘n Fun, LiveAirShowTV got a few minutes with Congressman Sam Graves (R) (MO) who sits on the House Transportation Committee, and the General Aviation Caucus; John Cudahy, President of the International Council of Air Shows; and John “Lites” Leenhouts CEO of the Sun ‘n Fun Fly-In. LiveAirShowTV asked them about the effects of Sequestration, what they see going forward, and what the general aviation public can do to help out.
