Airshow canceled over concerns of being too boring

MAYPORT, Fl. — This year's Jacksonville Military Appreciation Air Show in Florida, billed as the state’s biggest military air display, has been canceled over concerns over being way too fucking boring and not due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The show, which usually draws more than 90,000 spectators, was scheduled for mid-July at Naval Station Mayport. However, because the air show had literally nothing different from last year or the year before that, organizers canceled the event knowing that no one would genuinely enjoy themselves and would instead basically zone out about 10 minutes into the show.

Capt. Bobby Thomas, the base’s commanding officer, made the decision because of “a serious case of lack of enthusiasm” and not necessarily due to the continuing COVID-19 outbreak, according to a statement from the base Wednesday.
