Hey, wait a minute, I thought the Cold War was over!

[puppypusher]

Talk about Raptor bait.Yikes,I’d hate to be in the shoes of that Badger once Hostilities start.They wouldn’t have a chance.

[GeronL]

haha... get a good look Russians cuz you ain’t going to see it coming

[Frantzie]

It is. A muslim is in the white hut. It si over and we do not need an air force anymore. The idiots watching TV and ball games are controlled by the 5 TV networks who control all the TV channels. They are ALL for Obama including Fox/Saudi owned news.

[JRandomFreeper]

Bear bombers don't actually fly, they just beat the air into submission. I hope the guy from the 302nd has earplugs on.

They may not see the Raptor, but they sure will see the radar returns from those big external tanks.

[Yo-Yo]

Very stealthy external fuel tanks on that Raptor.

[celmak]

Russia must be joking, their still flying “Bears.” Are they hiding what they really have?

[devane617]

I’ve always wanted to see a Russian Tu-95MS “Bear”, and an Iceberg (yes, the frozen thing).

[Erik Latranyi]

A close flyby at supersonic should remove a wing from that Badger!

[tet68]

I noticed that, I assume they are coated with some kind of
anti radar coating but I would have thought someone would
have designed a stealth shape for them by now.

[Yo-Yo]

No more a joke than our still flying B-52s.

[Squantos]

When I went in to the service it was F-106 Delta Darts doing the intercept missions. When I retired it was F-15 Eagles......

Hope the Raptor gave em a show.....:o)

[GeronL]

Someone needs to design some stealth fuel tanks... Boeing should apply for a $1 billion grant even though overruns will cost another billion.

[Mr. Jazzy]

Enough noise to make you puke into your mask.

[GeronL]

F-106... did they nickname them Lawn Darts?

[Travis McGee]

And “da Bears” is still flyin’!

[sport]

I did too. On the night of November 4, 2008 I heard the reporters on t.v. saying that the world would loves again since obama the uniter was elected.

[SnakeDoctor]

Do you have a pinglist for these photos?
