Anyone have any info for Green Flag 18-3? Ill be in town during the later part of the exercise and for the RF 18-1 arrivals

[Marc R]

Are there any known participants for Green Flag 18-07? Only know about the GAF participants TLG 31 (Eurofighter Typhoon) and TLG33 (Tornado).

[747woody]

That'll be it then. Green Flag is a Close Air Support exercise and usually only involves one unit.

The one at Nellis is Green Flag - West, there is also a Green Flag - East.

[Marc R]

Ok thanks. So the germans should be for Green Flag West at Nellis.

Where were they parked and what callsigns were they using? Green Flag stuff usually (but not always) parks in the revetments.

[EOR1]

I have not seen or heard anything that shows a Green Flag actually going on.
