Checkered Flag, the largest fighter exercise in the DoD, is a large-scale aerial exercise designed to integrate fourth and fifth-generation airframes to enhance mobility, deployment, and employment capabilities of Air Force aviators and maintainers. The two-week long exercise focuses on the integration of F-22 Raptor, F-35A Lightning II and legacy aircraft in a large-force exercise. Checkered Flag is hosted at Tyndall Air Force Base, Florida, and will support approximately 20 aerial events, 80 participating aircraft, and 15 Joint and Total Force squadrons from across the country. This exercise provides a unique training battlefield for a variety of aircraft and support personnel from different aerial units.
