131st Bomb Wing maintenance Airman supports Red Flag 21-1 training operations
U.S. Air National Guard Staff Sgt. James Whitney, 131st Maintenance Squadron crew chief, waits to start a B-2 Spirit Stealth Bomber post-flight check during Red Flag 21-1, at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada, Feb. 1, 2021. In order to ensure Team Whiteman always upholds its global deterrence responsibility, Red Flag challenged Airmen to operate in a limited environment to better enhance their readiness and ensure mission success. Aircrews rotated their mission duties throughout the large-force exercise, expanding their ability to plan and execute operations best fit for various contingency scenarios.
