Default prarie vortex? does anyone recall this one from the 1980's

yes, the years when the RAF absolutely trashed the USAF in the annual SAC
bombing and navigation comp', using a combination of the HP victor K2 and some
very new Panavia Tornado GR1s of umm, 617 sqn, 9 sqn and 27 sqn over at least
two SAC bomb-nav comp's.

i recall well the RAF news when the lads first triumphed.

"PRARIE VORTEX SWEEPS THROUGH SAC"

anyone else remember those days?
