This is a list of military aircraft that are likely to be seen over the Nellis Ranges during the Flag exercises and other aerial wargames. In fact, many of the photos were taken during Red Flag. As a reference we have also included some aircraft that are unlikely to be seen there, but that are frequently mentioned in our discussion forum.
Click on the small pictures to see a larger version. Click on the designation to see the plane's profile in the "Federation of American Scientists - Nuclear Forces Guide" database, if available.
Countries shown in italics have the respective plane, but do not send it to the Nellis Exercises.
