That's exactly what he said. Let me clarify though, "travel expenses" includes the dedicated airlift required to haul their glittery asses all over the world, ground transport, lodging, etc. This "band" is not cheaper to maintain than an aircraft demo team, especially since that aircraft will still be flying the line if it's taken off the demo circuit. If I'm still not getting it, please explain to me what the "real cost" is.
