"The California Capital Airshow is set to fly this weekend despite the federal government shutdown.Organizers have been inundated with questions and concerns about the show and whether or not it would go on as scheduled.The California Capital Airshow, now in its eighth year, is organized by the nonprofit Capital Airshow Group and held at Mather Airport each fall.The former Air Force base is now a public facility operated by Sacramento County, and is not impacted by the federal shutdown.The federal budget, however, has had a very big impact on the performer lineup this year.The U.S. government sequestered the budget in March, cutting spending by $85 billion.The famed Air Force Thunderbirds and Navy Blue Angels were grounded along with all other military demonstration teams as a result of sequestration.The cuts also include all active military planes on display on the tarmac.Filling the void at this year's performance will be the Royal Canadian Air Force Snowbirds.The California Capital Airshow expects to draw 90,000 spectators over the two-day event.For more information on the show and how to buy tickets, check out their website.California Capital Airshow"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
