Air Combat Command’s Air Warfare Center at Nellis AFB, Nev., is in the midst of the first Red Flag for the new fiscal year. The exercise, which runs through Oct. 20, comprises USAF F-16, F-15, C-130, KC-135, and E-3 AWACS aircraft and Navy EA-6 Prowlers. Officials say the next Red Flag, slated to begin in January, will include F-22 Raptors.
The last remaining T-1 Jayhawk at JBSA-Randolph, Texas, took its final flight to the "Boneyard" at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Ariz., on July 15. The 99th Flying Training Squadron will train pilots using T-6 and simulator until it gets T-7 Red Hawk in fiscal 2026.
