- I've seen it too. But my favorite is the "Elvis Lives!" sign

- Actually, I think that the campaigns are better training than
- Red Flag. After running a Red Flag mission several times, you
- figure out the best way to do it, and then you have to make up
- a whole new mission. During the campaigns, though, you never
- know what to expect. Keeps you on your toes.
