275.80:  REDEYEs, STUDs & RIVALs cleared out to Cheyenne MOA for sorties
2 and 3. Taxied out, all reported ready for takeoff; then cancelled due to 
winds out 
of limits. Could probably take off, but wouldn't be able to land due to 
severe crosswinds.

275.80:  RIVAL-41, flight of 2, (F-16, Buckley), cleared Veta/Chama MOA.
Work freq 296.70 in the MOA. Got off the ground OK, but for a  while looked 
like
the out-of-limits crosswinds would force them to divert to Colorado Springs. 
Winds finally died just enough to let them sneak back into Buckley.
