Red Flag aerial combat begins over Las Vegas Valley
Australian, American and United Kingdom aircraft will boom out over the desert sands of Nevada for the first Red Flag 23-1 advanced aerial combat training exercise of 2023.
Nellis Air Force Base will welcome almost 100 aircraft and 3,000 participants for the two-week event held by the United States Air Force in Las Vegas Valley from 23 January to 10 February.
Aircraft will depart the base twice a day and could remain airborne for up to five hours during the exercise. There will also be night-time combat operations with night aircraft launches.
The event will feature participating aircraft such as the F-35 Lightning II stealth multi-role combat aircraft, F-22 Raptor stealth tactical fighter, B-52 Stratofortress long-range strategic bomber, and the Australian E-7 Wedgetail early warning and control aircraft.
The Royal Australian Air Force will deploy up to five EA-18G Growler aircraft from No. 6 Squadron and approximately 100 aviators in support of the exercise to enhance Australia’s air power interoperability with partner nations.
