Nellis posted the 2015 JFEX schedule (Formerly known as MAFEX) Class 15A will take place June 20, 2015 If you like C-130s and C-17s than this is the one day exercise for you! When they say "unimproved landing strip" they mean KENO airstrip just inside the restricted border at Cedar Gate. I watched it from right there and personally I found it more exciting than Red Flag. It was like a 4 hour performance as the the take over KENO. Truly awesome exercise! JFEX is a US Air Force Weapons School large-scale air mobility exercise in which participants plan and execute a complex air-land operation in a simulated contested battlefield. JFEX exercises participants' ability to synchronize aircraft movements from geographically-separated bases, command large formations of dissimilar aircraft in high threat airspace, and tactically deliver and recover combat forces via air drops and combat landings on an unimproved landing strip.
Class 15B will take place Dec. 12, 2015
