50 yards away and 100 feet high ?
I don't remember the distances, but I remember seeing several Tu-95 Bear bombers up close and personal on a Westpac cruise in 1983....

We had a Bear pass overhead so low I could see the stenciling on the panels. He cleared the mast. I don’t know who was more surprised, me or the pilot.
