Thanks for the FYI. Makes it easy for my debate over 16-1 vs 16-2.... 16-2 it is!

Golf Lima,

Thanks for the info on the participants but I disagree as to when they will attend. Traditionally, the January RF sees the participation of USA, UK and Australia. This is because of the participation of stealth assets on the USAs part. The RAF will be attending RF 16-1 and if Australia were to participate next year (they are currently deployed on Ops), then I would expect them on 16-1 too.

Regards

[EOR1]

that is according to a Nellis press release.

[raameagle]

Ok. Things can and do change but 'my info currently has the RAF participating in RF 16-1.

Regards

[fire28]

This is why it pays to actually wait till the list is put out for each RF before making plans.

[raameagle]

Indeed, and why I don't pay too much attention to press releases that don't concern a definitive participation list.

Regards

[fire28]

Is it to soon to know the units for RF16-1?

[Starman]

You can think of somewhere better to be that week?
