  • Climbing aboard his F-16C Viper, "Tazz" will begin his in-cockpit preflight checks. Each sortie will last between two to three hours with multiple engagements of Blue Force aircraft. MiG-6, as he will be known for this flight, has the ability to regenerate after each time being 'shot down'. Besides "Tazz", Blue Air will also be forced to watch for SAM's, AAA fire and remote radar facilities.

  • Eyes peering through his Head's Up Display (HUD), Major Derek "Tazz" Routt gives the "All Clear" signal prior to taxiing. The F-16's advanced Head's Up Display allows the pilot to acquire the aircraft's most important flight characteristic information at a glance rather than looking down into the cockpit losing sight of forward view. As callsign 'MiG-6', "Tazz" will join up with five other F-16C's from the 64th Aggressor Squadron as they engage the Blue Team over the Nellis Range Complex.

  • Following the afternoon sortie, Red Air retires to the casual confines of the in-house bar. With images of Stalin along with the cold war icons displaying the sicle and star, Red Air casually debriefs their flights against the Blue Team. Unlike the Blue Team, Red Air has the ability to regenerate their aircraft after being targeted along with other attributes allowing for the more 'relaxed' approach to individual sorties. Regarldess, training of Blue Air and more specifically, the Blue Four is priority.

  • The 64th Aggressor Squadron along with the newly reestablished 65th Aggressor Squadron portray the enemy either defending or invading imaginary countries over the Nellis Test and Training Range. While the mass pre-brief involving all participants from the Blue Team is taking place at Sutter Hall, Red Air holds their pre-brief seperately at their squadron building prior to taking flight.

  • As a red-shirt makes one last check on a AIM-9 Sidewinder, a yellow-shirt guides AJ101, an F-14 Tomcat from VF-31 'Tomcatters', to the 'shuttle' to prepare for launch off the deck of the USS Theodore Roosevelt CVN-71 during sea trials prior to their 2005 Mediterranean deployment. This would be the final cruise for the F-14 Tomcat and the last time it would ever see combat.

  • Going beyond the Very Light Jet (VLJ) is the new Eclipse Concept Jet (ECJ).<br />
<br />
Eclipse Concept Jet (ECJ) is a single-engine, four-place aircraft featuring a V-tail empennage and a turbofan engine mounted on a pod atop the rear of the fuselage. It is projected to have a maximum cruise speed of 345 knots, a 41,000-foot-service ceiling, and a 1,250-nautical-mile range.<br />
<br />
The ECJ was designed with an eye toward escalating fuel prices.  Eclipse views low fuel consumption as critical to commercial success.

  • Taking on the callsign, MiG-3, Col Michael 'Muff' McKinney climbs into his F-16C Fighting Falcon in Aggressor colors. During the first few days of Red Flag, Red Air will assume a less aggressive approach towards Blue Team aircraft. As the exercise progresses, so do the levels of aggression and complexity of tactics. Six F-16C Vipers took part in this particular sortie representing the Red Team.

  • Zipping up the right leg portion of his G-suit, Major Derek "Tazz" Routt prepares to head out to his F-16C Falcon as part of the 64th Aggressor Squadron. "Tazz" is just one of the many players that makes up the Red Air portion of Red Flag. It will be his goal to either protect assets obtained by the enemy or invade Blue Force territory and acquire new ground. Either goal will require engaging or becoming engaged by opposing forces.

  • Prior to flight, pilots from the 64th Aggressor Squadron run down their individual checklists in the ready room. This pre-brief entails the discussion of the participant level training while the Blue Team holds their mass pre-brief held at Sutter Hall in the Red Flag Building. From here, pilots suit up and take to their aircraft to join the 80 to 100 others taking to the sky for one of two daily missions.
