Please respect her descision instead of following your own mind, only interesting in aircrft and not in humanity.

Very unpolite to call it a shame when someone can't stand the physical impact due to the lost of two team mates and have to make a choice like Kirsty....

I'm sure he did.
The Reds will probably only fly with 7 Hawks during the 2012 season as there's not enough time left to train extra pilots.
On http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-li ... e-17249660 an MOD spokesman says the Reds will return to 9 jets in 2013.
