Pretty neat video.

What all aircraft is currently in the Russian inventory?

I read where a Tu-160 had entered Canadian airspace when Obama visited a few months back. Hmmm didnt know that, interesting. wow. :shock:

Fascinating footage. I didn't realize the Russkies still had any airworthy Blackjacks (at least I think that's what the B-1 looking thing is called.)

I remember back in the 90s when the NMUSAF was planning the new Cold War gallery there was talk of the museum getting a Bear. At the time it sounded like there was a pretty good chance it would happen, but since then things have cooled off a bit with the Russians, and I haven't heard anything in years. I assume the idea has been shelved for now.

I read the other day on cnn.com that it was a Tu-95 and it was still in international airspace. They sent some CF-18's up to escort/ intercept.

I knew a long time pilot who died recently who told me that once when he was at Edwards or Groom Lake (not sure which) he saw an open hangar door with a Tupolev Bear inside. He was told that the aircraft was stolen or defected from Eastern Europe in a black program. This guy was a real aviation expert and would have known the difference between US and USSR types.

Nathan,
There is a poster named Motomixer over on FlightLevel350 that has great high quality videos from Russian airshows. Many obscure types. Check his vids out here:
