RED FLAG-Alaska 11-2 presented an opportunity for RAAF maintainers to gain experience on the F/A-18 Hornet whilst learning how other countries perform aircraft maintenance and keep their fighter jets mission capable.

The RAAF and a small contingent of the Australian Army used the exercise as an opportunity to sharpen their mission readiness on the ground and in the air.

The RF-A 11-2 training exercise scenarios have been tailored to the participants’ objectives, making it possible for meeting unique training goals while maintaining global partnerships.
