Red Flag @ Nellis AFB
Looks like both 11 and 12 Squadrons have had a sucessful Red Flag
Must be the first time for the Typhoon at Red Flag ?

The Det’ Commander, Gp Capt Johnny Stringer summed up how the exercise has gone: “We are delighted with how all our people and our aircraft are performing, and it’s invaluable training to work alongside our close allies in peacetime as we would in war”.

Oh what I would do to go back on a Red Flag
Debrief: "Goddam, where did you guys go?"
Me (mission commander) "To the target and back!"

Did we finally get Typhoon to Flag? If so, even better to see it's going well as I always thought it would. It took a lot of work over the years!

Because, despite all the 'two-seat loser' chat, they like to have someone to help them when leading COMAO packages? Often used to see Harrier T-birds on CQWI as well...

Quick question for those in the know.
The bomb mission symbols on the Typhoon.
That would be Libya or were they sent to Afghanistan ?

500N - the mission markings are from Libya.
