It’s air combat season once again in the Silver State, with the latest Red Flag underway now through Feb. 18 at Nellis AFB, Nev. Air Combat Command’s Red Flag 06-1 comprises more than 80 aircraft, flying day and night sorties at the nearby Nevada Test and Training Range. Joining USAF air and ground crews are airmen from the US Navy, United Kingdom, and Australia, as well as US Army forces.
The Space Development Agency says it’s on track to issue its next batch of missile warning and tracking satellite contracts this month after those awards were delayed by the Pentagon’s decision to divert funds from the agency to pay troops during this fall’s prolonged government shutdown.
