If you work on this years dates you probably wont be far out, they have settled in to a pattern (until they change it!)

Personally I think RF18-2 will finish on 9 or 16 March but that’s just my best guess.

Having been to two "-2" red flags I'd agree your right on with that estimate. It tends to end or overlap the weekend of the Nascar Race out there.

The Nascar will be on the weekend of 2-4 march 2018. And the last few years RF 2 starts about 2 weeks after ending RF 1. But it's the military so you never know. The datee will be made public pretty soon i think. One thing is sure....stay away from Nellis (especially Nellis Boulevard) on the 3 and 4th of march. Combined with the ongoing road construction it will be a traffic disaster.

Thanks EOR1 !
I guess you got that from the Nellis PAO. Do you think you could get the RF18-2 participants now ?
I may come to RF18-1. I see that you live in Vegas. We may meet. I’ll keep you in touch.
