A quick scan of my logbook for July & August 1989 shows low level affil or escort/sweep on 16 sorties (only 4 of which were on a formal Exercise). The other aircraft included Danish F-16s, Canadian F-18s, and RAFG Harriers and Tornadoes. These were usually 4v4, and sometimes up to 4v16. There were usually unbriefed Target Of Opportunity engagements between the briefed ones. I particularly recall having to fight through a unbriefed 4 ship of F4s sweeping for 4 Tornadoes before reaching our 16 ship escorted briefed targets, all at low level. We were busy little bunnies in those days!
