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

Music was awful but its nice to see some good footage of the bear, surely one of the most impressive prop aircraft ever.
