Red Flag logs from years ago!

Got a hole in an old log? Empty lines in your notebook? Request that missing serial here, hopefully someone can help. Requests over 6 months old only please.

Red Flag logs from years ago!

Post by sschofield » Tue Feb 07, 2017 11:32 am

Morning,

Does anyone know of a website that documents participants at old Red Flags? I went in October 1996 and have a few queries that I never resolved.

Thanks in advance

Stuart

Yes, that's the one I meant but I can see it isn't of any help. Sorry about that.

Arch,

We visited twice, on 15/10/96 and again on 20/10/96. I think the first visit is pretty much OK, but on the 20th there'd been a unit changeover and we got a load of "MA" and "MF" coded F/A-18s, we noted MA-00/01/02/04/05/07/08/09/11 and MF-00/02/03/07/08/10/14/15 plus 1. I had tie-ups for some of these but can't find them. I have a feeling that they arrived whilst we were there so you wouldn't have seen them but it's worth a shot!

There was also a suspicious-looking Dash 7 (US Army RC-7?) and a camo AN-2 (US Army OTSA aircraft?) that we never read (I think we read the Dash 7 but I have no record of it!)

thanks for any help you can offer!

Stuart

Only one at Nellis was
N54026 DHC7

However at Mirimar 2/10/96 logged
MF-02/162403
MF-03/162407
MF-14/162401

Hope this may be of some use.

Have you tried scramble database you can search for codes and
it gives you dates they were carried.
