Red Flag 19-1
Red Flag 19-1
I believe that about 8 Typhoons of 6 Sqn have departed to attend Red Flag 19-1 at Nellis AFB. Does anyone know exactly when they departed and which ones they were?

Re: Red Flag 19-1
Believe on 14/1 following Typhoons involved.
Ascot 9815 ZK 317
Ascot 9816 ZK 305
Ascot 9817 ZK 308
Ascot 9812 ZK 312
16/1 leaving Lossie
Ascot 9818 ZK 338
This is based on info from other sources within F/Control. Not sure if more Typhoons left here in last few days.

Re: Red Flag 19-1
Yup,
If I recall correctly, ZK307 and ZK323 returned with maintenance issues and ZK424 returned because of fuel state concerns. I would like to think that 424 actually made it out the next day and the others got fixed... but, so hard to tell on this one.....

Re: Red Flag 19-1
Hi Al,
Sorry to be a pain in the...... Is ZK338 definitely confirmed for RRR9818 on 16th, as the hex that it used [AAAAAA] is a default setting?
Yes, I am aware of the SBS log for the day. However, that hex was used by ZK307 on 9th when transitting to Lossie as "Nightmare21", by ZK362 on 20/12/2018 as "RRR9812", by ZK322 on 27/11/2018 as "Cobra51",........and so on (tie-ups per Milky's site).
Also, to add confusion, the Voyager (RRR9402) which dragged it was ZZ338.
If anything, there could be the possibility that ZK307 was the aircraft concerned as RRR9818, having retained the hex code temporarily.
Cheers,
Bob

Re: Red Flag 19-1
Bob I took info for RR 9818 off SBS Scotland log of 16/1. Didn't realise HEX code uncertainty so you may well be right regarding it not being ZK338. Hopefully we will get clarification on this one.

Re: Red Flag 19-1
No problem, Al. I just wanted to be certain. It's a pity that there was no Lossie log for 15th or 16th, but I suspect that the weather was not conducive to spotting.
No doubt Scramble will report all the serials present at Nellis, and hopefully the Eastern Seaboard site will produce something, too.

Re: Red Flag 19-1
On Monday 14th , on 6 sqdn line a.m. were : - ZK307 ( arrived 9/1 from Coningsby ) ; ZK308 ( probably arrived 10/1 from Coningsby ) ; ZK312 ; ZK315 ( not 305 ) ; ZK317 ( arrived 9/1 from Coningsby ) ; ZK323 ; ZK330 ( probably arrived 10/1 from Coningsby ) ; ZK340 ( probably arrived 10/1 from Coningsby ) ; ZK374 ; ZK424 . Still there mid-p.m. were : - 307 , 323 , 330 , 340 , 374 , 424 . ( So 308 , 312 , 315 ( not 305 ) , & 317 departed ) . On Tuesday 15th , ZK340 , 374 , & 424 all departed at 1430 , & 307 remained on the line . On Wednesday 16th , ZK323 departed ( not 338 ) , & 330 was outside the hangar . Visiting on the 15th was an AAC Defender , on 17th C40 168981 .
Re: Red Flag 19-1
is 315 still painted up or is she back to line colours?
Re: Red Flag 19-1
All the 10 Typhoons , including 315 , had just the last 3 on the fin , standard colours , & no unit markings .
Re: Red Flag 19-1
Correction ! : - On 16/1 , ZK323 did NOT depart ; RRR9818 was most likely ZK307 . ( ZK 330 still there late on 16/1 , ZK323 still there 21/1 ) . Sorry !

Re: Red Flag 19-1
Though whether ESACML got them from FC (I have my suspicions).........
.
Reading through the above, it would appear that the other four were ZK340/374/424 and (probably) ZK307.
Don't worry, though. They will be read off at Nellis and reported on Scramble.
