1.4.7.7. Individual Responsibility. Each member assigned to the MAJCOM Single-Ship Demonstration
Team must fully understand the solemn trust and special obligation that accompanies a
position on the demonstration team. Individual behavior, bearing and appearance shape not only
the team image but also public image of the USAF. First among the team’s many responsibilities
is the safety of demonstration audiences. There can be no aspect of any team member’s life style
or daily conduct that would in any way impair the team’s performance or jeopardize public safety.
Each member must be at the peak of physical and mental capabilities for all demonstration team
activities. In addition, given the continuous rigor of the demonstration team schedule, each member
must be able to sustain this mental and physical capability level over an extended period of
time. The key to this sustained performance is the establishment of a personal daily regimen to
include regular eating, hydration, adequate sleeping, and proper exercise habits, which will minimize
the adverse effects of continuous travel, cultural/dietary differences, and time zone changes.
1.4.7.7.1. In view of the special obligations incumbent whether performing in the air or providing
ground support, each member of the team, will adhere to the following policies:
In no case will the provisions of AFI 11-401, Flight Management, concerning the consumption
of alcoholic beverages be violated.
Additionally, alcoholic beverages will not be consumed later than 12 hours prior to reporting
for duty when aerobatic maneuvers are scheduled for the following day.
For cross-country flights not involving aerobatic maneuvers, the provisions of AFI 11-401
apply.
