Air Force fighter jets to fly again
By Jennifer Liberto
About 300 fighter jets, including the Air Force's Thunderbirds, will begin flying again.
Since April, about a third of the Air Force's combat flying fleet has been grounded due to federal spending cuts. The Air Force won a temporary reprieve from the cuts, which will allow the jets to begin flying again.
Congress gave the Air Force and other agencies the power to re-allocate money within their budgets. The Air Force on Monday decided to reinstate $208 million to restore the flights.
The move also affects the grounded Thunderbirds. They resume training with hopes of performing aerial shows next year. There will be no Thunderbird shows this year.

As a Navy guy, I am glad our sister service has received the budget flexibility to restore flying hours to the front line combat Air Force. Pilot skills are perishable. I would rather have those who fly with us in the Joint arena be up to the mark. Given the state of affairs today, we cannot count on having several months for work ups if those skills are allowed to decay.
It's very important we get our multi trillion dollar air force flying again so we can spend our money on nothing some more.
What this story fails to clarify is that the return to flying is not to perform in aerial demonstrations. It simply allows pilots to maintain their basic proficiency as Airmen (not necessarily as Thunderbirds.)
Many do not realize that the Thunderbirds have not been flying AT ALL since 5 April 2013. (This means many are close to jeopardizing their basic qualifications in their primary jobs.) We agree that we shouldn't be performing when money doesn't allow it, but we assume America still wants its military service members trained in their basic jobs. This announcement simply allows our pilots to remain qualified to fly (as Airmen, in general.) We STILL are not performing demonstrations and still are not sure about what 2014 has in store. But, as a matter of combat readiness and professional development, military pilots need to be certified as able to fly (even if they don't fly in aerial demonstrations.) Thunderbird 12, Maj. Darrick B. Lee
My family and I went to see the show in Nov 2012 I believe, and it was amazing my kids always talks about it, My father in law also is retired from Thunderbirds.
I guess some people would sooner spend millions so the so called first lady can have more vacations.
moving money around within their budget.208 million.guess there is a little extra cash floating around.
To be clear, the $208 million is shared across MULTIPLE units within Air Combat Command, including the Thunderbirds. These funds do not support participation in aerial demonstrations, but help pilots/maintainers stay certified in their basic jobs (as Airmen) during sequestration. Thunderbird 12, Maj. Darrick B. Lee
A very welcome move indeed (the photograph of flying strikingly painted F-16s seem to celebrate it).
Hope the United States government also reconsiders to hold the highly prestigious Red Flag air combat exercises at Nellis AFB, Nevada where the Indian Air Force was invited to participate.
Sayan.
