    Since this has drifted off the flybys, this video of a Typhoon and Mirage confronting a Russian TU-95 is interesting. Pretty funny when the Brit and French planes "open their coats" to show the bomber what they're packing. Towards the end there are also some interesting shots of the counter-rotating props on the bomber.

    "Any Navy brown shoe vets on this board?" Not I,but spent 2 years on the America from 68-70.Just substitute F-4`s with the Bears instead of F-14`s.Wildest time on the LSO platform was carrier quals for RA5c`s out of Mayport at night.They bounce quit high when they came in high and my god they were loud.As the Oral Surgeon, I talked my way into cat shots and helos.Best flyby was an A-4 from the Hancock on our last day on the line in the Gulf of Tonkin.Came up the port side upside down at flight deck level.Got it on super 8 movies somewhere.Indelible memories!

    TFM cool you got to do a cat shot.
    I flew on/off the carrier in helos.
    Did a deck run in old C-1, bummed it didn't require a cat shot.

    I've got a Navy pilot friend I like to brag about...

    Had lunch this week with "Hawk" my CATCC and later Air Ops boss, #3 officer on the Carrier.
    CO of Top Gun at Miramar in the late 70s, CO of Rota Spain was his last assignment.
    He helped develop the F-14 and its weapon systems, was the 19th pilot to fly the Prototype F-14.
    Lunch topics range from what its like to fly an F-14 with a single engine to his training technique for canopy rolls.
    Hawk's story is here in "Roger Ball".
    http://www.roger-ball.com/
    Here is one of Hawk's favorite Naval Aviation video Sea Legs.
    Part 1.

    On the lighter side, on occasion in flight photos of the Bear's cockpit have shown Russian pilots holding up a can of Pepsi during their fighter escort.
