Apparently operational requirements have exceeded training abilities...

Actually I suspect they are going to be busy flying missions over afghan and paki and won't have time to play war games when they can have real war games instead.

Red Flag isn't just about the USAF however.

What would worry me more is to find out they had to pull some Aggressor pilots off the training rotation to fill combat slots.

Looks like just the October one is canned - the next one is still on....

I was working on the assumption that since it's not yet October 17th, it would be interpreted as the "Next One..." ;)

Thats too bad. Couple of my friends got the chance to go out to Nellis (as maintainers) for red flag. They loved it!
