The theme for SMW 2015 will be "40 Years of Red Flag". We aim to have the following on display:-

  • Examples of all the types which attended the first Red Flag in 1975;
  • A wide range of Aggressor aircraft which participated as "Red Air", including F-5's, F-15's, F-16's and T-38's;
  • Examples of USAF types which attended;
  • Aircraft from other air arms, both United States and Foreign;
  • Civilian support aircraft.

We will also have several dioramas, including:-

  • The Threat Training Facility (TTF) at Nellis AFB;
  • A "range" diorama with foreign technology.

Internet sources for information on Red Flag include:-

There are also a number of books on the subject, including:-

The list of types which have attended is large and grows yearly as more foreign air forces are invited to attend. This list will be expanded and more types added.
