Sadly, an F-15 pilot was killed yesterday at around noon pacific time during RED FLAG training here in Las Vegas.
For us Americans, this tragedy and loss was not in vein. The Red Flag training is what keeps our Airspace and Country safe from Airborne threats.
This is a much needed exercise to keep our pilots and ground crews of both SAC and TAC in a "Constant Ready " posture, as well as our NATO allies.
