I hear the friendly skies of GB have been visited a lot recently by the de-mothballed Russian Federation TU-95 Bears, among others. I wonder what Mr. Putin has in mind? A few days ago a TU-95 Bear came within 3 nautical miles of USS Nimitz and all hell broke loose :flying:
Here is an old BBC news item from September '07, although I saw an updated version on the telly last night

Re: Bear Migration (the TU95 kind)
Music was awful but its nice to see some good footage of the bear, surely one of the most impressive prop aircraft ever.
