https://www.scramble.nl/military-news/j ... picture-30On 27 January 2021, US Air Force teams Barksdale and Travis hooked up over the US Central Command area of responsibility.
Depicted are 2nd Bomb Wing flagship B-52H Stratofortress with serial 60-0002/LA originating from Barksdale AFB (LA). The strategic bomber is being refueled by a KC-10A Extender of the 60th Air Mobility Wing with serial 83-0076. The tanker is normally based at Travis AFB (CA).
Sending again strategic message to Iran, the Stratofortress flew a long-range direct sortie from Barksdale to the Middle East. This was the third of such flights this year and the first under the new Biden administration. More flights are expected.

USA USAF F 16 2 RobvD 320Red Flag 21-1 (see Scramble News 24 January 2021, "Peacetime Batlefield") is in full-swing and these are his first images.
This Red Flag edition only sees US based units from the US Air Force and the US Navy plus of course the Draken International adversary aircraft. Like Red Flag 21-1, the upcoming two Red Flag editions will see only US based units.
So write down in your calender the Red Flag 21-2 and Red Flage 21-3 editions in March 2021 (8 to 19 March 2021) and July/August 2021 (19 July to 6 August 2021).
Enjoy!
