The government of India has decided to send elements of its air force to Nevada in August 2008 to participate in Red Flag. The US extended an invitation to the Indian Air Force in 2006.
Three B-1B Lancers from the 7th Bomb Wing flew over the Indo-Pacific alongside F-16s from the Japanese Air Self Defense Force recently, as part of a joint large force exercise. The mission began and ended in the continental U.S., as the bombers flew 31 hours and landed Jan. 11.
