Hi guys,
can I ask you a suggestion? I would like to partecipate, one time on my life, at the Reg Flag in Nellis. Maybe 2024 could be the right opportunity for me and would ask you, from your great experience, which march week generally could be better to spotter: the first (11th-15th) or second (18th-22th)?

Thanks you very much.
Regards

As far as I have ever seen, the action between the first and second week of Red Flag is generally the same, but you will want to confirm the exercise dates before making plans. In 2019 we stopped by hoping to catch a day of RF based on the unofficial dates discussed online and found out it was shifted later one week so we saw very little
