    The airshow at Quonset is the most pathetic air show, I have ever been too, I was in the USAF for 20 years. The services send the minimal least expericenced people to this show. When people can’t bring in coolers so that the public is forced to buy overpriced food, it shows that RI National Guard is afraid of competion. We have not been to this air show in years. I now only have gone to air shows at active duty installations not on National Guard bases. I also don’t like being shaken down to pay for parking, even though they say the money goes to Hasbro Childrens Hospital. How much I pay in taxes, I don’t give to Rhode Island charities. I encourage people to reduce the amount they give to Rhode Island charities until the tax levels are dropped. Once organizations feel the pinch maybe then the voters and the taxpayers will realize how much money is being squanderd.
