It has been about 10 years since USAF retired the last of its F-111 aircraft, but aircraft spotters in Nevada have a chance to see the Aardvark, as US airmen knew it, fly again as Royal Australian Air Force F-111s take part in Red Flag 06-1. The exercise, which runs through Feb. 18, brought together more than 85 aircraft from USAF, US Navy, US Marine Corps, the United Kingdom, and Australia.
Multiple U.S. Air Force F-15 fighters have deployed to the strategic outpost of Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean to protect the myriad of assets deployed there, including strategic bombers.
