Skii Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 There's a classic cold war standoff! No doubt both parties exchanged the appropriate hand gestures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skii Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 My favorite Lightning stand-off story was the U2 pilot who at 88,000 feet was suprised to see a Lightning pilot alongside waving at him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Yep remember that pic too, I think the RAF used it for a while in the late sixties/early seventies as a recruitment poster. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil @ Flory Models Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Fantastic photo, I was talking to a US Navy pilot once and he was saying that you could hear the Bear before you could see it. From the drone of the bears props. The US were tracking the bears as they were tracking the task force on the way to the Falklands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary West Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 BMF days If someone else hadn't pinched it for the their Avatar, I might have done I saw a thread the other day - 2 x RAF F3's were scrambled to intercept a Bear recently for the first time since anyone could remember - The Ruskies were trying to take a sneaky peek at a NATO exercise off the North coast of Scotland.
