COVID-19 and security concerns mean the U.S. Navy s Blue Angels flight demonstration team will be conducting its summer air show at Buffalo s Outer Harbor instead of the Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station.
There has been an air show over Niagara Falls for many years, at three-year intervals. Niagara Military Affairs Council Chair John Cooper said Thursday the two-day event usually attracts around 100,000 people.
He said many of those who attend aren t interested as much in the state-of-the-art military planes of today, but want to see and touch the airplanes of World War I or II and modern small planes displayed on the grounds of the Air Base. That increases the security issues during the show.

WASHINGTONÂ â On Capitol Hill, they re called Christmas trees, but these end-of-year, rush-out-the-door spending bills that Congress crafts would be better labeled Santa s bags of toys, as they are chock full of gifts for states both blue and red.
The $1.4 trillion bill that Congress rushed to passage this week should make this an especially Merry Christmas for anyone concerned with the Great Lakes or the goal of one day being able to go to Canada again.
The bill funds federal government operations through the end of the fiscal year on Sept. 30, 2021, and it includes items that will benefit the Great Lakes, as well as a measure that could eventually make cross-border travel easier.
