Narrative:

After a mission brief, a departure from prescott airport, our flight of 2, I was dash 2, climbed north. In the area of paulden east of V-257 formation aerobatics were practiced. A formation loop was started, over the top dash 2 got sucked, fell behind. Coming out of the loop I noticed we were over populated area, and on or close to V-257. I advised the leader of our position, he turned and proceeded back to the prescott airport.
