In the list of threats to national security, would you include a U.S. Air Force F-16 Fighting Falcon, a U.S. Navy F/A-18 Hornet, an Ohio Air National Guard C-130 Hercules, and the U.S. Army Golden Knights parachute team?
Those are some of the performers scheduled for this Friday's opening of the Cleveland National Air Show. But believe it or not, the FAA and the TSA say the law requires them to prohibit those air-show performances. Public Law 108-7 prohibits air operations within three miles and 3,000 feet altitude of a Major League Baseball game. The Cleveland Indians are playing that Friday night in Jacobs Field, about two miles from Burke Lakefront Airport. Because of that, the FAA and TSA say they can't let the show go on.

And the final ironic note: The Cleveland Browns are also playing next Friday. Their National Football League stadium is located less than one mile away from Burke Lakefront Airport. But the government has determined that Public Law 108-7 doesn't apply. It's only an exhibition game.
