Hi,
Does anyone know if 20-3 is still happening? If so, any info about participants?
Thanks

from a Nellis photographers board I'm on, the tentative dates are Aug 3-14th, no comments on units until the date gets closer.

Nellis Air Force Base is hosting Red Flag exercises this week and next amid the pandemic — but this time with only U.S. aircraft involved.

Red Flag 20-3, which kicked off Monday 3rd and will run through Aug. 14, will see more than 80 aircraft depart the base twice a day and remain in the air for up to five hours. There may be night launches to allow air crews to train for nighttime combat operations.

During this Red Flag, the only participants will be from the U.S. Air Force, Navy and U.S. Marine Corps.

Dreamlandresort.com has a list of players including SJ & MO F-15Es, VMFA211 F-35Bs plus VAQ132 & 135 EA-18Gs.

With the temps in the 112F/44C range, I've never been tempted to visit Red Flag XX-3. My personal rule with El Centro/Nellis/Rainbow Canyon was always Oct-Mar only.

Will see what the world-wide health situation is before making my mind up re: Red Flag 21-1/21-2. Maybe Draken will have some more F-1s flying by then.
