Red Flag 13-3 Mass Launch

Watch as numerous fighters and bombers blast off from the Nellis AFB Runways in support of what is possibly the last Red Flag exercise at Nellis AFB. The exercise involved the B-2 spirit out of Whiteman AFB to a first timer for Nellis, a 737 playing the AEW&C role from the RAAF. Red Flag 13-3 ends on March 15th.

There is something so gorgeous about the KC-135. I can't put my finger on it. Really a strikingly beautiful airplane.

Being that close as a civilian;big time bucket list!WOW!!

[@LockheedMartinF22Raptor7]

2:00 lmfao........ wasn't expecting that

[@cocik]

This is a rather chilled version of mass launch. Back in the 1980s we had a bit more hardcore stuff - getting an entire wing group airborne in 4 minutes from standstill. Planes were using taxiways and runways in both directions (just as a flight took off from one direction, another flight started their take off roll from the other direction). There's an interesting video about it kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3fbmXecf9Ofr8k

[@rainerbowden2714]

bruh the 80's were crazy

[@CNCTEMATIC]

I love the F-15C. It always looks like the toughest dude on the ranch.

[@nedthegreat6]

i would agree but the F-16 looks like the meanest dude on the block and ready for battle just sitting still

[@NeglectedField]

F-15 is the chaddest looking plane

[@tbmdd]

@@NeglectedField That's a great way of putting it lol

[@robinshay9180]

I was fortunate to experience this, as a civilian, in person on North Island a few years ago. It pays to have a Chief in the family. Biggest thrill of my life. Best part is, I got it on video. Bucket list, CHECK!

I never get bored of watching this!! Love um.

[@KumaBean]

Watching this is really relaxing and soothing, like sounds of thunder and rain relaxing and soothing, it's sending me to sleep, I need this lol 👌

[@Dogtown16v]

Great to,see the RAF Typhoons at Nellis.

[@darthpervertous]

HOLY SHIT!!! Panavia Tornados and Euro Fighters?! Damn, standing near the runway watching afterburner takeoffs, and the smell of JP9 jet fuel in the air must have been unreal!!! Now that's an airshow I would have love to attend!! Great video!!!

[@mike.47]

Nice to see the old Tonka flying, even though they are now out of service. Also good to see the Eagles from Lakenheath, just down the road from where I live.

[@24bellers20]

Love the tip vortices on the Tornados.👍

[@chesterbarnes22]

that was probably my favorite red flag thus far, first time we got to fly all our prowlers with no issues lol.

I was host base SEF ( flight Safety) out of 5th BW, Minot ND in March 98 if memory serves me. Spent 45 days there for Red Flag just prior (it was approved while there) to my retirement in Aug 98. I believe it was the first Red Flag without a class A mishap. We did have to send the Singapore AF back home I think. Many thanks to you Brits for taking me up in a Tornado...err..sorry, that was supposed to be kept quiet. Anyhow, fond memories from a retired Crewdog.

[@cassianbaker5793]

The last thing I wasn’t expecting was to see T-38s!

[@iGetNoRespect21]

Much respect to the B2! I have seen 2 in my life. Once over game 7 of the 2001 World Series Dbacks vs Yankees in Phoenix, AZ. The 2nd was during the 2018 Indy 500 opening. Beautiful work of art and state of the art technology!

[@scallen3841]

I miss seeing the bear recon aircraft flying over our battle group, while on was deployment aboard the aircraft carrier in the late 80's . Escorted by an alert fighter either a fa-18c or f-14 .

[@WildBillHabiki]

man this guy did the best Red Flag vids on YT.

[@catchaser52]

Quote from description,, "We weren't allowed to shoot the following: The tail end of the B-2,,,, " Looks like you did at 03:40 not much but some, I suppose that is so the heat spreading of the engine exhaust is kept secret, for detecting reasons. Great video, Thanks !

[@colesherman6849]

[@faithanddevotion]

I think this is such an awesome display of air power at one time. I think all these planes are amazing. Even though I am a U.S. citizen and think we have some pretty great planes, however, I think the Tornado's and the Typhoons are amazing aircraft; very impressive!!!! Even though there are no Russian plays represented, some of the MIGS and sukhoi are totally dope. Additionally, f-16's may have been around for a long time and are flown by almost every Air Force that isn't communist; they are still very versatile planes. I cannot believe they have been in service since the early 1970's

[@theeltea]

Pakistan flew Vipers, no? Not strictly communist but cutting it close...

[@rewind12354]

Shame the tornado is being retired such a fast plane

[@mivecsi]

@Derek Charette not aware of any RAF Typhoon crashing. The Typhoon is one of the best...if not the best fighter out there at the moment. It's a beast!!

[@terrywainman6050]

@Derek Charette what a complete dickhead there is always one and that's you! Out of all the nice comments you have to spoil it with your idiotic comments you prat. The typhoon's dont crash no more than the American jets. I would back the typhoon against any of the American fighters it would only loose out to the F22 & F35 in bvr as the radar on those two has longer range but WVR even the mighty f22 & f35 would be toast against a typhoon.

[@terrywainman6050]

[@timcigainero8]

I lived in Nellis base housing about 20 years ago, about 100 yards from what you're watching and hearing. Red Flag wasn't so bad since it was daytime sorties. Come Green Flag, it was a whole nother story. What you hear started about 1600 and didn't stop until 1900. The sound of Freedom

[@user-ny4lz9rv6g]

Was stationed at Nellis for from 06 to 09 and these launches would drive me up a freaking wall when I worked nights. Still nowhere near as bad as when the Thunderbirds would decide to practice as it seemed like they knew where I lived.

[@christineadams1284]

I used to live near the base and the first time the Stealth flew over my house the windows shook so bad I was afraid they might crack or break. The Thunderbirds are fun to watch but very loud. I don't miss living on that side of town anymore. God Bless

[@maxflyman5435]

Don't know why I am just getting this recommendation in 2019, but THANKS!!!. Not a pilot, but grew up as an AF kid "wayyy back", and in fact almost ended up at Nellis after Dad's (RIP) second tour in Nam. Wound up at Luke instead. But brings me to question. Very nostalgic seeing the retro VN era jungle camo on not only the F-16s, but also on the F-15s. ?? Even in 2013 that was out of date. Was that the designation, along with the blue camo planes for the aggressor squadron?

[@gonefishing9225]

Was in the United States Air Force for 6 years. Station at torrejon Air Base Spain. We used to do our tdy in incirlik air base in turkey. We had mass deployments dressed in chemical warfare suits all the time. People passed out all the time due to the hot weather and rubber suit. Ahh.. good old days.

BS!!!! Don't by that hype. Fighter pilots always do their best. Period!! As someone who has participated in Red Flag, they know what's at stake. There is pride on the line to perform well. Outside of the French and Japanese of course.

[@jamesdean6759]

I remember being on Red Flag in the early 80's ! One wing clipped the airspace of area 51! When we landed we were escorted back to our hotel. Each crew member had an escort to our room, then we were escorted to the airport escorted on to the plane. Flew to Toronto, picked up and driven back to Trenton. Every member of the crew was given a life time ban from Las Vegas! Have never been back!
