There will be a Green Flag running between 15 Feb - 1 Mar. I would assume the players will be different to those taking part in Red Flag. Does anyone know of any Green Flag participants during this time? This will make Nellis one busy place.

the UAE left their Mirages parked at Nellis, so there is a good chance they will be playing in the next GF.
