Red Flag Nellis AFB 2024

Post by TaveMyliu »

Hello everyone.

Long time ago no post here. But always see the Info!

I am planning going to Nellis in 24-1, although I don’t know exactly the dates.

Please, Anyone can help me with that?

All the info will be more than welcome.

Thank you very much in advance.

Tave.

Oh hey, just realized this for 24-1: the Super Bowl is in Las Vegas on Feb 11th. I haven't made up my mind about going to Vegas for 24-1, but if I do, I won't be there anywhere near game day. The airport is gonna be jammed up, hotel rates up, and traffic is going to be crazy.

Doesn't the first one usually last for three weeks?

I believe it will last three weeks. However the last two weeks will be dispersed over other airfields and will be held over the water near San Diego. Similarly as last year.

That was RF23-3 was it not? The 3rd one is the US only one which makes that option viable. 1st one is "five eyes" IIRC, 2nd is open to allies.

Acc X: sir listenalot: RAF #A332 #43C6F8 #RRR9410 dragging (six) #EUFI out of Coningsby. Looking at the Santa Maria ALTRV, I'd say they're inbound Lajes for a future oceanic crossing.

Typhoons of 3 sq as possible Red Flag 24-1 participants.

ADSB
Voyager ZZ335
Typhoon ZK344

Acc Fighter Control:
9854/5/6 ZK344, ZK308, ZK436 then 9851/2/3 ZK437, ZK377, ZK432. ( tx Dave )

Please note that January 15th is a national holiday in the US. Last year no flying at all on that day at Nellis........

The January/February one is always a 3 week flag too. It doesn't mean to say that all 3 weeks will take place from Nellis though...
