Back in your Element

Seems that way Ian ...big gray jets in big gray fluffy things

Interesting bird this one .... crashed back in the 60's , never found the crew.

I must source that book, the RCs I do have a small one the self about the variants but nothing really in-depth Don Logans 'ACC Bomber Triad'.

Funny really (the interception) and the reactions from both sides ..... "we saw you" .... "no you didnt" ... "yes we did .. it was you" .... " well .... we dont want to play anymore" ..... "oh come on , its fun ..... promise we will count to ten next time before we launch "

Bloody silly , when you think the U.S NEEDS Russia to get crew and equipment to the space station ... and back . I wouldn't be teaseing them .... regardless of the odd Bear intrusion .
They more than likely get back and home and call each other "damn you were fast today" .... "Da .... but you were late "
Let the sabres rattle
Lets not drag this into a pointless political/defence debate(before it starts) ...we all know , as do the controllers of these people , that if all hell broke loose , the only survivors are ... cockroaches

cockroaches! maybe , their, the buggers we should be watching ........... Whatever ... get over yourself guys(U.S / Ru) for Gods sake... lifes too short

[Splitpin]

Doh i think i just hijacked my own thread which , to be honest , wouldn't be hard around here at the moment

It's a pretty standard thing - send in a clever plane to 'accidentally' intrude, and take note of the response time, all the comms and where they came from, and so on.

[Ian Warren]

Nothing wrong with a little 'I spy with my little eye' bitta sparring sorta thing , keeps everyone into check , Captain Rameous may have to give his Submarine back tho

[Splitpin]

Mike and Ian ... i agree , i just found it a bit amusing thats all.

[Ian Warren]

Be interesting to see or hear if it go's any further but I'm guessing blowing out off proportion ... again, If it was North Korea , now that would be more news worthy and maybe a sign to start thinking the possible.

I had a good giggle at the code name, with that henna tattoo on its forehead

You been have been watching to many 'Young ones' repeats Vivian I mean Mike ... hang on! Mike was the level headed one

[emfrat]

A great show, that was - until South Park went one better

[Ian Warren]

Yeaaaaah but Southpark were real and the Young ones cartoons

Pretty 'Riveting' thought

[Splitpin]

Enough! of your banter ... fellow forumites (not sure if that's a word) how did we get from "rivet joint" to south park ?
You have to love this place ...

Nice pictures.

About the interceptions...Well, These days, They didn't intrude over the sovereign air space, at least the bear here in Europe. In Japan I remember that sometimes they intrude. But USAF need a strong VVS and viceversa...ouch! well, really Lockheed, Northrop and Boeing need a strong VVS.

Take the 270 radial from the nearest VOR...or as we used to say in pre-radio days - "Go West, young man..."
