Any idea where the 492nd are going after Red Flag? As i read in Combat aircraft they are away for most of the summer.

I'm guessing Hill or Tyndall?

Thanks

The patch they released for the deployment has Nellis for Red Flag and Mountain Home, Idaho on it so guess that's where they're off to.

Hi colt41,

According to a post on SMAS forum, only 12 went and 98-0133 is definitely on the deployment, along with 11 of your list. These 12 have been confirmed by photograph at Nellis.

However, 98-0135 (on your list) has not been photographed, nor 91-0302 - despite a Scramble report listing them at Nellis.
