ACC is designated lead command and will establish standard criteria for single-ship aerial demonstrations of the A-10, F-15E, F-16, and F-22 aircraft. MAJCOMs interested in developing future air show programs involving these USAF Mission Design Series (MDS) aircraft are governed by this instruction and approved MAJCOM supplements. This instruction provides specific maneuvers, sequences, and parameters governing the execution of these demonstrations. Other MAJCOMs flying single-ship aerial demonstrations of these MDS aircraft will comply with this instruction. Policy and procedures for team management, selection, training, and scheduling are in accordance with (IAW) applicable MAJCOM supplements. The directives listed in Attachment 1 provide further policy or procedural guidance in the conduct of these events.
