VMFA-232 ramps up for RED FLAG-Alaska 17-1
A pair of U.S. Marine Corps F/A-18C Hornet aircraft assigned to Marine Fighter Attack Squadron (VMFA) 232 out of Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, Calif., returns to Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska, Oct. 10, 2016, after the first RED FLAG-Alaska (RF-A) 17-1 combat training mission. RF-A is a series of Pacific Air Forces commander-directed field training exercises for U.S. and partner nation forces, enabling joint and international units like VMFA-232 to sharpen their skills and build interoperability by flying simulated combat sorties in a realistic threat environment inside the largest instrumented air, ground and electronic combat training range in the world.
