Nellis AFB apparently will not renue their contract with Draken for adversary support. This means that Draken won't participate in Red Flags after June. Interesting decision.

I saw this and it is quite surprising. The Air Force reportedly can't fill their training needs even with Draken, so giving them the boot so soon is really puzzling. I get that they probably want higher end jets but that doesn't happen overnight and it REALLY doesn't happen if you cut Draken off from the existing contract money. I wonder if there is more at play here behind the scenes.awal2049 wrote: ↑Sat Apr 09, 2022 1:10 am Nellis AFB apparently will not renue their contract with Draken for adversary support.

I barely got to see them last month and was really hoping for better next year. Oh well...
