Now looking at the stat block for the Ancient Red Dragon. His/her skill modifier on fly is only +11 when it should be +13. So I'm assuming I've missed a penalty, what -2 have I missed? Or has someone given the dragon a colossal penalty to fly instead of a gargantuan penalty?
+ 25 ranks for 25 HD, +3 Trained Class Skill= 28
-1 for 8 Dex, -6 for Gargantuan size, -8 for clumsy manuverability= -15
28 - 15= 13
Maybe it only has 23 ranks in it?

I don't think so. It has a total of 11 skills chosen with 11 skill points total each HD.
It looks like an error due to selecting the wrong size penalty. It probably needs an errata.
