Never did Rodeo, but managed Red Flag in 98 with LXX . Most fun day,apart from walking into the Red Air briefing room with our route and saying "come and have a go if you think you're hard enough! (They shot the crap out of us but what a day!). 2 Alberts (having promised the armourers we'd be returning with no flares or chaff on board) gapping in to the ranges, when Earwax came on freq saying "knock it off F15 diverted to dreamland" . The sight of the Nevada desert burning as flares and chaff bounced off the desert floor as we raced to beat the small pointy things back to Nellis was something to behold!
