Red Flag 12-2 Aggressors - Update 20th Feb

Post by KevinJ »

I was fortunate to spend 10 days out in Vegas for Red Flag 12-2. Here are some shots of the 64th and 65th Aggressor Squadrons Vipers and Eagles in action. I'll update with some of the Blue team in the next few days.

Hope you enjoy, thanks for looking,

Love them all - but the third shot is outstanding - a signature aggressor shot :)

The new Eagle and Viper schemes are cool too.

The 37th BS 'Tigers' from Ellsworth brought five B-1Bs with them, flying two on each mission.
