Has anyone actually complained to airshow management? If so, what did they say in reply...?

The trouble is...the US and Uk and whoever else can promise they'll bring X, Y and Z all they like. But with the ongoing war in Afghanistan and other places of 'interest', X and perhaps Y may be required elsewhere in the world tomorrow, and then you'll get a whole bunch of disgruntled spotters complaining that "but you promised...". That's what happened to the F-117s a few years ago...Better to under promise than to over promise.

Plus, because of the timing of the White Paper (i.e. AFTER Avalon), there are no real current active campaigns underway expect maybe the P-3 and Caribou replacements, so why would a company bring an aircraft half way round the world if it has no plans to sell it here? Let's be real folks!
