My thoughts too. I also cannot imagine a service pilot receiving his display auth in a Tucano before strapping themselves to a Hawk borrowed from a mate.

Displaying vintage swept-wing jets is a relatively new discipline as, quite simply, there was no such thing available outside of the military. I would argue that both common sense and sensible rules failed to make the fast-jet conversion.
