Thanks Ian.....somehow the F-4 and the Bear look good together.

You cant help to like a Bear , love to see one off these display at an airshow ....... F4 and i think the Lighting would be the choice as well

The first pic is awesome...have been trying to do a formation shot too but so far unsuccesful...the speed disparity is too much for the one Im trying

I have it as AI and do PIs on it with Eric Marcianos radar, good fun.
This is my CBFS signature.

Yep....the lightning looks much more at home chasing the bear....cheers steel

Your first screen I had to look at twice, I have a photograph nearly exactly the same in an Aviation History book of mine.

Ouch!
Pull up a sand bag and I'll tell you a cold war story.

In the mid '60s at Leuchars, you knew it was a sunday afternoon as a Bear would enter northern UK air space just long enough to get the QRA scrambled. They were as regular as clockwork and I believe they took the sport up again a couple of years ago.

Keeps them busy!

I was talking to a CAF CF-18 pilot about 18 months ago he was saying they're being kept very busy with them these days.

Brilliant pics Love that first one especially.

I say good on the Russians for trying to reassert themselves keeps the other guys on their toes, but how much longer can they keep those bears flying?

Trying to beat the Americans again , recon 2035 for the B52 .

I wonder how many rolls of duct tape they will use to keep the Bears flying?

Thats amazing, they really have become an Icon.

From the days , these thing were built so strong ... the SU22 example with a , a reporter doing push ups on its pitot tube and many considered them built outta boiler plate

Imagine the sound
