After reading through all the posts I just wanted to confirm if anyone knows the Flight schedule for Red Flag 18-2? I read something regarding 1pm launches and the recoveries an hour or two later and then a night launch. Is that correct?
No Red Flag launches in the morning hours? Just normal base training flights ?

If you read the FAA notams one would assume the launches for 18-2 are as follows:
1100L-1400L
1630L-2100L
0000L-0200L
This seems more like a Green Flag Launch schedule then a Red Flag as typically RF is 1300L-1530/1600L then 2000L-0000L.
Perhaps a tiny bit off topic(?), but does anybody know if the AK agressors are still in Nellis (press article stated they would stay for 6 months)? And till when they will stay?
The AK aggressors are NOT at Nellis! The article was badly written in as much that it referred to the Weapons School course lasting for 6 months. The AK F-16s stayed for about two weeks and went home just before the Airshow in November...

Seen here on the above days were the following awesome 230 aircraft! The aircraft are listed clockwise starting on the left end of the platform. Most aircraft were read of by our group on the 14th between 06:45 and 08:30. Some aircraft were (partially) added from the list posted earlier in this topic. Some fiscal years were looked up.
Additions and corrections are most welcome. A few commanders aircraft remain unknown so I would be pleased if anyone can add these!
Row 1:
ex 388TFW/4FS : F-16C : HL/89-2065 (reportedly with the SD ANG)
175FS/SD-ANG : F-16C : --/88-0474
176FS/WI-ANG : F-16C : WI/87-0298
no mks : F-16C : --/86-0317 --/87-0343 --/87-0258 --/87-0346 --/87-0349
Row 26:
57Wg/16WPS : F-16C : WA/90-0740 +1 both new Have Glass camo (WA/86-0280 64AGRS flew on the first day)
53TEG/422TES : F-16C : OT/88-0442 OT/90-0809
: F-16D : OT/92-3926
92-3909 and 92-3917 were apparently also present but not seen by us. 3902 en de 0370 were also seen but not parked on this row. Probably flew from the revetments.
Read of by another group were: WA/499, WA/728 (no longer present on day 2 and flew from the revetments)
You list 728/WA yourself here as well. We indeed read off 499/WA as well.
Thanks for the additions Patrick and you're welcome! On the early morning of the 14th four aircraft were parked about mid field and on the morning of the 15th only three were remaining (two C's and an unidentified D). 728 was flying that day so it is likely that this one was moved to the revetments.
On March 15th we saw A-10 79-0087/MD Maryland ANG coming in. It was still parked on March 16th in the evening near the FT A-10's on the "green flag flightline" together with another MD ANG A10.
