Oh hey, just realized this for 24-1: the Super Bowl is in Las Vegas on Feb 11th. I haven't made up my mind about going to Vegas for 24-1, but if I do, I won't be there anywhere near game day. The airport is gonna be jammed up, hotel rates up, and traffic is going to be crazy.
I believe it will last three weeks. However the last two weeks will be dispersed over other airfields and will be held over the water near San Diego. Similarly as last year.
Acc X: sir listenalot: RAF #A332 #43C6F8 #RRR9410 dragging (six) #EUFI out of Coningsby. Looking at the Santa Maria ALTRV, I'd say they're inbound Lajes for a future oceanic crossing.

In a press release from 388FW / Hill AFB today it is stated that the 388FW is the core unit for Red Flag 24-1.
"The 421st Fighter Squadron and 421st Fighter Generation Squadron, alongside Reservists from the 419th Fighter Wing will
