Apparently the RAF Typhoons that were over for RF19-1 will be doing the next Green Flag.

Expect flying all day from the based aircraft, but RF usually flies twice a day, with the second launch at night. The day launch has been from roughly 1200 for the heavies and 1300-1500 for the smaller stuff, with recoveries between 1600-1700.

Are they dropping bombs?! Green Flag is a close air support exercise. Reliable sources say they’re for Red Flag, and they flew yesterday as part of the Red Flag mission. Current Green Flag is RAF Typhoons.

Hey everyone.

Just wanted to ask about red flag 19-3.
When should I be checking to see what will be flying?
And
I've noticed they change their dates on some of the red flag exercises, is there any reason to that? I want to make sure when I book my flights and a place to stay that it's not a week too early or a week too late.

Thanks for any info.

2 Sqn fly the E-7 so a participant rather than participants.
