Raptors’ Thanksgiving Intercept of Tu-95 Bears

While there aren’t any official photos out of the 22 Nov sunset intercept, there are a couple homemade ones floating around the ‘sphere – like these courtesy AW&ST’s Ares blog (subscription maybe required).  No shots w/Bears – yet:

Word is the package was a couple of Raptors, a tanker (natch) and an AWACS.  Do you see what we see on the 2nd shot? And on an operational vice ferry mission no less too…things that make you go hmmmm…

  1. Ashamed to say I didn’t see what you were pointing out when I first saw the pics over at Ares. As soon as you mentioned it it stood out like a sore thumb, though. Hmmm indeed.

  2. Soo, is the raptor thirsty? Or do they want to increase the RCS? Enquiring minds want to know.
