Thanks to Aeroframe for this info from the LVRJ. I have received no answer to an FOIA request for the exercise times. I assume that they will be posted in the Notams in the near future. As soon as we receive the info it will be posted.


Military jets will be flying out of Nellis Air Force Base by the dozens in the next two weeks as the base conducts another Red Flag air combat training exercise over the sprawling Nellis range north of the Las Vegas Valley.

The exercise over the 15,000-square-mile training range begins Monday and will end July 24. During that time, about 50 warplanes will depart Nellis twice a day between 9 a.m. and 2:30 p.m., base officials said in a news release.

This Red Flag exercise is one of a series conducted by the Air Force Warfare Center and the base through the 414th Combat Training Squadron.

Participating with U.S. aircraft will be planes from the United Kingdom and Israeli air forces. U.S. military planes include F-15s, F-16s, E-3s and KC-135s from South Carolina, Idaho, Washington, Oklahoma and Ohio and aircraft from the Nellis and Creech bases in Nevada. In all, 62 aircraft will be involved in the exercise.

This will be the third Red Flag exercise this year with a fourth scheduled Aug. 27 through Sept. 7.
