Nellis, Red Flag, 1986. Morning briefing. Beautiful clear blue Nevada desert morning, unlimited vis. Disbelieving Brits hear Met man "Scrub due 10am duststorm". Back outside...blue, calm.
10.00am brown cloud approaching from the west, 10.05 tumbleweed and sandstorm engulf Nellis and Tonka's/groundcrew (mostly with canopies open!).
Lasts till 2pm. Met man 1, Brits 0.
