More airplane pictures from Alaska

[AKcharger]

This happened last Thanksgiving (1st F-22 intercept of a TU-95), but for some reason the pics weren't releaseable till just recently.  I think the Cyrillic on the side of the bear in one photo transates into: "We wish we owned capitalist Dodge Chargers"

 That raptor should had some practice with his 20mm guns and shot that thing out of the sky.

Alaska,did you say Alaska?  Like where Sara Palin is from!  You got my vote.    Oh, great pictures.

those commie bastards would never have had the bear if a B-29 wouldnt have crash landed in siberia during WWII.  The commies would not let the americans have the plane back...  so pretty much, the commies would not have had or been able to produce the propeller/turbojet long range bombers (to include the Bear) if they would have just given the plane back to the americans.  they reverse engineered the B-29.  for more info:
