Joint Red Flag 2005 (JRF05) Exercise - Nellis Air Force Base

Based out of Tinker AFB in Oklahoma, this AWACS (Airborne Warning and Control System) E-3 Sentry heads NorthWest towards the Nellis Range Complex. In the background are just some of the many components of Red Flag, A B-52H, Nimrod R-1 and another E-3 Sentry. The dome is 30 feet in diameter, six feet thick, and is held 11 feet above the fuselage by two struts. It contains a radar subsystem that permits surveillance from the Earth's surface up into the stratosphere, over land or water with a range of over 200 miles.
