Units from the Royal Saudi Air Force’s 92nd Squadron are flying combat training missions over Nellis, AFB, Nev., says the Air Force. A half-dozen F-15S fighters flew from Saudi Arabia to Nevada on Aug. 6. RSAF pilots hadn’t been to Red Flag in 25 years.
The Air Force is leaning toward a less-sophisticated autonomous aircraft in the second increment of the Collaborative Combat Aircraft, the services chief futurist said. He also suggested that the next increment of CCA may be air-launched, a la the "Rapid Dragon" experiments conducted by the service in recent years.
