A Belgian air force C-130 Hercules lands during Red Flag 14-2, March 13, 2014, at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev. Red Flag gives Airmen the opportunity to experience realistic, stressful combat situations in a controlled environment to increase their ability to complete missions and safely return home. Since being established in 1975, more than 30 countries have participated directly in a Red Flag exercise with other nations as observers. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Thomas Spangler)
