1 (fighter) squadron in full swing
Royal Air Force squadrons will deploy to the United States in January at the top of their game thanks to Tartan Flag, a training exercise designed to prepare RAF personnel for Exercise Red Flag, the most demanding, challenging and tactically complex air warfighting training anywhere in the world. In the New Year the Typhoon Force led by 1 (Fighter) Squadron will join V (Army Cooperation) Squadron flying the Sentinel R1 and 8 Squadron flying the E-3D at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada for three weeks of highly intensive training.
Officer Commanding 1(F) Sqn Wg Cdr Mike Sutton said: “In order to get ourselves into good shape for Red Flag we're running a work-up period of training here at RAF Lossiemouth called Tartan Flag. The exercise involves up to 20 fast jets conducting the most challenging, high-end training sorties that we can generate in the UK. We're also fighting against a number of simulated threat aircraft, again up to about 20 in number, also using the Sentinel and E-3D from RAF Waddington and we're doing air-air refuelling on a daily basis.”
The exercise is not limited to air-to-air sorties, the Typhoon Force is exercising its swing role capability as Wg Cdr Sutton explained: “Red Flag is predominately a swing role training opportunity for us. By swing role we're taking the Typhoon and employing it in the air-air and then the air-ground role in the same sortie; we can flick between the two at a second's notice.
