Airman 1st Class Travis Davis launches an F-15 E Strike Eagle in support of Exercise Green Flag April 24 at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev. Green Flag is Air Combat Command's premier pre-deployment exercise for units who perform close-air support. The training exercise, which began April 19 and runs through May 4, mirrors many of the irregular warfare-conditions aircrews will see while fighting the war on terrorism. During Green Flag, aircrews will try to learn better ways to employ airpower within an irregular warfare environment. Airman Davis is a crew chief assigned to the 335th Fighter Squadron from Seymor Johnson AFB, N.C.
