March 11--  Despite rumors and press reports to the contrary, the U.S. Navy's Blue Angels are still planning on appearing at the Vidalia Onion Festival Air Show in April.

According to Marsha Temples with the air show committee, an email Friday, March 8 from the Blue Angels said they have not been told anything about cancelling the Vidalia appearance and it is still on their schedule.

The flight demonstration team has cancelled some air shows due to budget cuts by the Department of Defense.

Earlier the Blue Angels told Temples they should have a final decision on the Vidalia show by March 15.
