According to air combat command the USAF and all units have been given there flying hours back :clap: up until October that is...
Flying prevails whenever a man and his airplane are put to a test of maximum performance.

I know right :( but as I said it could change (please, please, please) :)

Highly unlikely that it will change. The reds have a very tight schedule...

The Reds will know doubt have a few smaller shows and flypast to make dureing the weekend,
this will free up time for RIAT without the need for recovering the team.

I'm sorry but then why have a Monday at all, we all have families to get home to. They won't be displaying early Monday morning (fully aware of support staff that go with them too!) so why not the extra 12-16 hours at Fairford.
