  - Well we left the Open Sky Treaty that allowed us to make monitoring overflights -- nm - JD Jun 10, 12:07 1
    - Uh huh. That’s what I meant. -- nm - US Government Jun 10, 12:14
I was going to crack wise about the generations difference between the bomber and interceptor but the I remembered that the US still flies the B-52 - JD Jun 10, 11:57 5
- those refueling tanker planes date back to the Korean war and are still prop planes, plans for new jets have been throttled in corrupt bidding 20 year -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 10, 12:00 4
  - Tankers are a mess but they're a little more recent than that 8-) They've been jets since uh, well 707 days but - JD Jun 10, 12:06 1
    - I live just off the end of the runway at McChord afb, they still fly the kc135 for the cargo jets support -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 10, 13:06
  - but we don't bomb like that anymore, now we fire cruise missles from 1000 miles away, use stealth jets for smart bomb targeting -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 10, 12:02 1
    - That cruise missile thing is one of the missions that keeps the B-52s as part of the active inventory -- nm - JD Jun 10, 12:08
Doesn't this happen all the time? -- nm - Mop Jun 10, 11:32 5
- It does. It's a sign of how weirdly insecure Russia is. -- nm - Reagen Jun 10, 11:36 2
  - just down load google earth, boom..done... -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 10, 11:47
  - Yeah... yeah... Russia. We'd never do that... -- nm - USAF Jun 10, 11:38
- I mean Sarah Palin sees russian jets from her backyard all the time -- nm - eag Jun 10, 11:34
