Last month we covered a story about how military jet flyovers at stadiums were done away with thanks to the sequester, but now things have gotten worse.
And the results of the sequester continue to hit home in the world of aviation... Earlier this month military jet fly-overs at sporting events were banished and now the FAA plans to close 149 air traffic control towers by April 7th, including the one at Griffiss International Airport down the road here in Rome. They keep clipping our wings, when will it stop?
That's right, one of the coolest shows of military firepower besides full-blown airshows will be becoming extinct at the Kobalt Tools 400 NASCAR race at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway on March 10th. Why?
If you tune into any news channel today chances are you'll hear the word "Sequester". What is the sequester? What effects does the sequester have, and how will it effect Americans? What's going to happen today? We try to shed some light on that here thanks to our friends at 13WHAM in Rochester.
