Very easy to criticise the home team but with such a changeable cloudbase re-ordering the display would have been chaotic and probably dangerous. is there any one from the FCC on the forum to comment?

I wasn't criticising anyone.
As for the pilots not calling the shots, somehow I think they may have had some say in whether they flew or not, as in the case with the Seakings deciding to fast rope rather than para drop their marines, and the reds deciding not to continue for example.

Are you sure 2 x F16's flew?

re ordering the display would have been chaotic, and probably dangerous?, you have lost me there I'm afraid (bearing in mind it could have been for better visibility, and in the same practised airspace, and with only one display at a time. Not to mention the flypro was not followed anyway).
