This is a memo that was supposedly sent to the Deputy Secretary of Defense by the Secretary of the Air Force listing possible "actions to mitigate sequestration impacts."

One of the items is:

Curtail non-readiness/mission related flying such as air show support, flyovers, and familiarization rides.

There is also mention of "a potential flying stand-down from late July through September" if there is no resolution of the sequestration issue by March 1.

An article in the Washington Times talks about the letter sent. It must have actually been sent.
