If it's an old red dragon, it's gargantuan and has 35 strength. By the table, that should give it somewhere around 1000 lbs carrying capacity, x8 for gargantuan, so 8,000 lbs medium load. Heavy load works out to ~14,400 lbs. The weight of a T-rex in the rules is given as 6 tons, or 12,000 lbs. So it should have its fly speed reduced, but should be able to stay aloft. Of course the DM might call for a check to see if it stops maintaining flight due to the attack.

Obviously, these numbers are all based on the assumption that it has the Old age category, they'll adjust up or down if that's wrong.
