“This is a very difficult decision, because Tattoo has been a Wright-Patt tradition for the past 10 years,” Col. John M. Devillier, base commander, said in a statement. “But we have to direct our limited resources to other mission priorities.”
Base authorities said no decision has been cast on future Tattoo celebrations.
The one-day gathering has attracted as many as an estimated 75,000 people to the grounds of the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force for aircraft flyovers, musical performances, and fireworks.
