Maybe.. in 2000, around Gekkos bar in I-Tae-Won, one of our crews had an F-15 mate in town on an exercise... the talk turned towards the Eagle drivers experience in exercise with the same flock that we were flying jumbo's with post their retirement from defending the blue house. When prompted the Eagle driver commented that he had been shot down 3 times in the exercise so far, which was pretty impressive, he was up against some F-5Es and F-16s... We were surprised given our exposure to the elders of the same group, but it was explainable when the hapless aviator lamented that they had all been on Blue team along with him, which then, didn't seem quite so shocking.
