Fulcrums Visit Red Flag
The simulated enemy threat has never been so realistic at Nellis AFB, Nevada, during Red Flag. The added realism was the result of the first-time participation of six German Air Force MiG-29 Fulcrum jets from the 73rd Steinhoff Fighter Wing from Laage, Germany. Flying units from around the world were able to train against a formidable threat. More than 2,000 people and more than 100 aircraft participated in Red Flag, which ran from late October to early November last year. Red Flag provides aircrews from the United States, allied nations, and coalition forces with superior combat training, challenging even the most experienced pilots. |
