Hi fellows!I've seen alot of various pictures showing interceptions of (atleast in my case) Soviet/Russian patrol planes.
I've figured out I should start a thread where everyone could post pictures from their collection.I'll go first:
USN F/A-18 intercepting a Soviet Tu-95U Bear-E:
Now, go ahead! Post your pics!
PS: It doesnt have to be of Soviet aircraft beeing intercepted, it just that thats what I have on my computer...
Just a correction for your records - she's a Canadian Forces Hornet

Fairford 1993 if memory serves. I went on the Saturday and the Bear didn't fly (Rumour was that the crew was too pissed). Aircraft flew as part of the display on the Sunday.
......or the tornado crew forced the bear down......i wonder if that ever happened for real....
Nope, Russians / Soviets had more sense than to ever do over flights. (it was much simpler, safer and cheaper to let a KGB spy in the government to do the work for them).

Fantastic pics so far
The phantom looks so cool in flight. total classic

I agree......though I could be biased. The F-4 looks great in the interception/escort role and in flight in general.
More F-4 interception pics!
Maybe some F-5 pics if anyone has them as well......
Anyone notice the "joint" USAF F-4/RAF F-4 intercept picture? I didn't know joint intercepts were ever made? Did those USAF Phantoms come out of Lakenheath?

Old rare colour shot of a soviet Mig-17 Fresco, intercepting Boeing 707/C-135.
USAF F-15 intercepting a rarely seen Tupolev Bear submarine comunications relay aircraft.

Another small correction, is a Tu-95MS "BEAR-H" bomber. This photo appeared in the 1987 edition of "Soviet Military Power", i think.

Not quite sure what happened here. An ex-Yugoslav Air force F-86 flying alongside Il-18.

Sorry it seems a Dc-4/Dc-6 series aircraft. Il-18 engines configuration are different.

Nope,looks like F-4Cs from the 57th Fighter Interceptor Squadron, Keflavik, Iceland.My guess is they were doing a switch off from the RAF Phantom and taking over the intercept.

Woops,exactly.My mistake.It is a DC-6 indeed. Il-18 has a different cockpit layout anyways.
Still,i dont know why an F-86 would intercept a civil airlines from the same country.

Perhaps President Tito on board. Escort flight.

Now, go ahead! Post your pics!
