	Back in September, 87 there was a news report that several B-52's
would be assigned to Nellis A.F.B. to take part in Red Flag exercises, but
I have yet to see any of them. Does anyone out there have any info on this
rumor?
Thanks in advance.

 B-52's regularly take part in Red Flag exercises at Nellis. They are not
permanently assigned there though. They spend a week to ten days on temporary
duty at the most.
