Is Red Flag equivalent to the Navy's Top gun but it's for the air force or something like that?

Not quite.

While "Top Gun" (Fighter Weapon School) is the Navy's school for fighter pilots, Red Flag is the name of an annual exercise the USAF is having with one or two foreign air forces that are invited (every Red Flag exrecise has different foreign air forces).

Red Flag (the 414th Combat Training Squadron) conducts war exercises (Red Flags) so that combat aircrews can train in the most realistic simulated war environment possible. Red Flags are not competitions between flying units, nor competitions between pilots.
Exercise participants come from flying units around the Air Force. Sometimes the Navy, Marines, Army and allied forces take part too. Every Red Flag exercise is made of 1, 2 or 3 periods. Each period is 2 weeks long.

At the end of each period, a whole new group of flying units arrives, and the last one leaves. Each period, we receive enough participants and aircraft to compose an AEF size flying wing.

OHHHHHH so that's what it is. Has anyone watched the IMAX movie Fighter pilot: Operation red flag? It looked pretty cool but i didn't get a chance to see it though.
