Nellis Afb 2020 Red Flag 20-1

Why can the RAF Typhoons be crossed off?

Regards

Mark

Unless they're already in the US, they're yet to depart the UK. With the exercise commencing tomorrow, I'd say it's a little late now.

The three 41 Sqn jets have been in the States for a couple of months and have been at Nellis for over a week. Their serials should be ZK375, 376 and 433.

The 92nd ARW KC-135Rs can be crossed off, they cancelled.

Well that's going to make for some very Light and/or Short Flying times. Assuming the RAF has 1 maybe 2 there.

Blimey, completely missed their transit out.

My apologies.

From what has been posted by the american embassy in Spain, we should get some Spanish typhoons for either Red or Green flag

Specifies Red Flag 20-2, I believe.

8 x Spanish Eufis for RF2020-2, probably a mix from Ala11 and Ala14.

Any special schemes on VAQ 135 Growlers, or the Australians?

[foc1]

168772/NL550 has a slightly changed scheme from the other US ones (darker tail with light grey marks) but no colours on it
The Aussie Growlers are all standard
F model A44-210 has the black and yellow "100 years Fighting First" tail

My apologies.

I'm not surprised you missed their transit out. It was nine months ago.

They departed the UK on 29th April 2019 as "RRR9621" Flight to Lajes and moved on the next day. Tanking was by "RRR9211" Voyager ZZ336.

Bob

Today saw the arrival of 6 OH F16s and KC135 80109 marked Sioux City.

[jetblue497]

There were another 6 Ohio F16s that arrived just before sunset. It appears their tanker went to LAS.

[gizmo17]

Six 175th FS F-16C’s from South Dakota arrived this morning
