The Red Flag 2009-02 just ended on Feb. 6, 2009, Red Flag 2009-03 is set to begin Feb. 23, 2009 [http://www.nellis.af.mil/library/flyingoperations.asp]. This forum has been quiet about this exercise, regarded as probably the most intense and realistic in the world.
I just wanted to see if we could work together to find any credible sources of information on how well the involved aircrafts performed. Also, Pakistan was, supposedly, invited to RF09, but we haven't heard a response. What are the reasons behind it?

Boy, what I wouldn't give to be able to see these aircraft up-close. F-22s, F-16s, F-18s, Harriers, A-10s, B-2s, B-1, you name it, incredible stuff.
