Don't think so, only Saab I remember with Canards is the Gripen, and the Gripen's tail goes past the engine very noticeably.

Powered by four turboprop engines, driving contra-rotating four-blade propellers 18 ft across, the Bear is one of the world's noisiest military aircraft.


A pretty plane too . Though not an intercepter I was disspointed not to see a Connie in there . My dad spent many years in Connies up there tracking bears and pointing F-4's and F-15's at them .

I like number 4.  Shows a Hornet can't go anywhere without a tanker near it.  That's a KA-6 tanker helping it escort a lowly P3skie (IL-38 May).

Yes, it's a Viggen.

Does it have a PETA card ?

Hmm, I don't have as much knowledge on the Cold War as I should, so this might seem a little silly..but...

Russian bombers flew this close to U.S. airspace? That they had to be escorted out or "intercepted" by NATO fighters?  :eek:

They still do.  Off of Alaska has always been a playground.

Why are they flying that close?  :headscratch: Old habits? What is there to spy in Alaska? How well our oil diggers are doing?

Just poking the lion.

Checking on response times, etc.

From what I understand it's fairly routine business.

Just did a quick research, apparently, they get closer to Canada than U.S. airspace. Also found something quite interesting, Canada bought $8.5 billion worth of F-35s to replace their CF-18s. Some wicked stuff.

It appears to be a Russian Sovremennyy class destroyer.

As far as I could tell, there are only 4 still active and #672 is not one of them.
