southern Nevada. These are the ranges used during
the "Red Flag" training exercises conducted by the
4440th Tactical Fighter Training Group of the USAF.
It is highly recommended that crews take the time to
fly each Red Flag training mission before venturing
into the Persian Gulf or "Flight of the Old Dog"
scenarios. The skills developed here will spare you
hours of frustration later.
The TFTG has no aircraft of its own, no ranges, and
few personnel. The TFTG is one small part of the
Tactical Fighter Weapons Center (TFWC), located at
Nellis.
The TFTG develops and schedules five "Red Flag"
air combat support exercises per year, involving a
number of Tactical Fighter Weapons Center (TFWC)
units in each exercise. Although it is a small group in
and of itself, the 4440th has operational control of a
tremendous number of resources when there's a Red
Flag going on. These resources include:
The 554th Operations Support Wing: To Red
Flag, the most important section of the 554th is the
Range Group, charged with maintaining and
operating the vast bombing ranges north of Nellis.
The Adversary Threat Training Group: The
4513th is the intelligence unit of the 57th Fighter
Weapons Wing (FWW). The Aggressors get most
the their up to date tactics and briefing information
form the 4513th. The ATTG also helps develop the
Red Flag scenarios.
Red Flag Missions
1 Flight Procedures
This mission exercises the crew's ability to handle
some of the basic procedures outline in Chapter 2:
takeoff, aircraft identification, flight control, and
landing. No ordnance is loaded, and more than
enough fuel is provided for the entire mission.
The mission begins at the pilot station, with the
aircraft positioned at the end of the runway. Follow
the takeoff procedures detailed to get the aircraft up
and flying, and turn on the autopilot when the aircraft
reaches an altitude of 1000+ feet.
The aircraft flies to the first waypoint, where Air
Traffic Control (ATC) requests identification.
The aircraft then proceeds to the second waypoint.
During the remainder of the flight, controls in the
pilot and copilot stations should be explored. The
following are suggested exercises:
