Yes, they may say they still want to hold their 6 airshow days per year, but I also think they will be just as happy if there was no airshows if there is another way to gain income without the need for them at all.
Well in that case we might as well knock down all museums, and develop the land for housing.

Of course, the substantial government grant to the museum administrators and their 6-figure salaries would continue. We can't do away with that.
