ELMENDORF AIR FORCE BASE, Alaska -- Two C-17 ''Globemaster's'' prepare to land after participating in Red Flag Alaska 09 on Thursday, April 30. This exercise enables flying squadrons to enhance their fighting capabilities in simulated combat sorties in a realistic threat environment.
This is an F-16C Block 40H belonging to the 18th Fighter Squadron (Aggressor) at Eilson AFB Alaska somewhere over the out back of the 49th state. I borrowed this USAF image as a color contrast with this aircraft's cohorts seen below, as I photographed them, at Nellis AFB in August, 2003. These Aggressor Vipers carry the fight to participants of Red Flag, Cope Flag aka Red Flag-Alaska and other dissimilar fighter tactics training wannabes.

They first suspended the race, then called it complete after the cars sat on pit row for about 10 minutes. I don't know the whole story, but I did hear that the lightning was deemed too close for the turn workers to be out in the elements.
The Prowler is a plane I hadn't seen in person before. It's used by the Navy and Marine Corps for "electronic countermeasures." That is: it's used for radar and radio jamming, amongst other things. It was neat to see one in person.
This tern is enjoying the breeze on the windy morning. The red flag signaled no swimming, but definitely no problems with flying.
My wife and I had some free time so we decided to drive down to Las Vegas for the Red Flag exercise in mid-March 2025. The weather forecast was good and there seemed to be a decent line-up of participating aircraft. Unfortunately both items fell short. The sky conditions were excellent but the weather sucked. Very high winds affected some of the fighters. The first afternoon we were there all F-16s and F-35s were grounded due to crosswinds. Also unfortunate was that Flex departures were cancelled at the last minute so the planes had to do a straight out departure - this sucked for photographers. In the late afternoon the recovery shifted to landings over Cheyenne Avenue. This was our first visit there in about a year and we couldn't believe the change. It was a mix of a homeless camp, scrap yard, bombed out Gaza, and just a totally trashy area. Burned out cars and car parts were everywhere. We didn't feel safe there despite being among other plane spotters. Wow. I took these photos in mid-March 2025.
Re aircraft activity - it seemed a lot lower than at prior Red Flags. There were a lot of Nellis resident aircraft but not too many visitors. It was a decent trip but not a great one.
