There is nothing on Nellis Afb Website and none of the flying operations have been cancelled as far as i can tell, ,they still have it listed thru March 15.Actually they have a slideshow on their website about the kick off of Red Flag 13-3.

All,

I contacted the base. Red Flag is still on as of now, no plans to cancel it.

@ "Varkdriver", what is your source?

Thanks very much Arnold. I panicked, just a day before leaving to Vegas it would have really sucked. Luke is cancelled and if RF3/13 would als be we only have Yuma (and El Centro) left.....

What did I learn, panic only after an official confirmation or reliable source .....

Viva Las Vegas...... (even without the Growlers that we will be able to see for another 30 years ;-)

IF!!! Red Flag would be inflicted by the budget cuts (what is possible) this will happen from 1 April as all other AF/USN restrictions also start from this date (no foolsday prank). RF13-3 will be finished before this date so this excersize is safe :wink:

Hi,

Not many did the effort to take a little walk during the early morning hours and read these three. It wasn't easy, but we did.

Noted were:

0-00305 (CH-47D 92-00305)
0-80066 (CH-47D 88-00066)
0-00303 (CH-47D 92-00303)

80066 had "TX NG" markings. It was the toughest one to read despite the "last three" on the front rotor pylon in white. We thought the '8' on the tail was a '6' too.


Cheers,
Marco


... we're good ...
