Red Flag 21-2

[ny.afterburner]

Does anyone know any information on what could be going to Red Flag 21-2?

[Le Addeur noir]

14x 525th FS F-22As arrived at KLSV late last week from PAED.

[Oscar01]

Probably not RF, but GF, but arrived this week were some AC vipers....

14x 525th FS F-22As arrived at KLSV late last week from PAED.

Red Flag 21-2 doesn't start before March, so I would assume the AK's are here for RF21-1 or something else.

Regards,
Charles

I believe the AC's are for Green Flag Oscar. But I understand SC ANG F-16's should be participating too.
In a couple of days all should be clear.

Kind Regards,

So no foreign AFs for 2021? Bummer, that's most of the reason I go. 21-3 looks decent for heavy bombers, the B-52s are fun to shoot. All 3 classes of Hornets, too. Does Draken still have F-1s at Nellis? Wouldn't mind catching that.

[blazesixate]

F 1s are flying outta Nellis w/ regularity -there are @ least 3 birds aboard the air base

[pilotman6012]

The two that fly the most and both were out today in ranges are N572EM and N574EM ,preparing for Red Flag -21-2 which starts Monday 03-08,so should be several aircraft moving this upcoming weekend.
