Bomber exchange 20 years later

Hard to believe it has been 20 year. The photo below was taken by a co-worker in 1992. It shows the Barksdale AFB flight line with some unusual visitors.

I have a montage of prints from photos I took of the Tu-95 arrivals at Barksdale. Interesting sound. The Russian crews were good people.

They are going to do it again next year.

Both built using Boeing technology.

Give the Soviets some credit!

They've come a long way since the Tu-4/B-29 days...

Too bad they won't be escorted over North American airspace by a B-1R. That would be a sight.

Interesting too about that event. The Russians were guests at the last great Sac Bomb Competition awards ceremony in Hoban Hall.
