The 525th Fighter Squadron at Elmendorf AFB, Alaska, returned home in early March after an extended deployment to Nellis AFB, Nevada, and Holloman AFB, New Mexico. The squadron participated in a Red Flag exercise while at Nellis. Because of volcanic activity in Alaska, the Bulldogs, as the 525th is known, had to extend their deployment and then trained with the 49th Fighter Wing at Holloman. At Red Flag, the 525th was able to complete all 350 scheduled sorties. Once the next Red Flag exercise started, a shortage of ramp space at Nellis necessitated the 525th relocating to Holloman, which is now ramping up as the third operational F-22 base.
