wow… i cant believe this conversation is actually happening. Guess they opened up the asylum lately….

That is entirely incorrect. The MiG-25 was designed to counter the Lockheed A-12, the SR-71A’s predecessor and the expected CIA replacement for the U-2 for overhead reconnaissance of the USSR.

Yep, I was scolded for this in a paper i wrote a few years ago. Just checked the aforementioned book and your right. It was either you or T.C that right me about it. I did do a little looking into to make sure and it appears correct, the XB-70 – Mig-25 relation is incorrect.

USN

Thats a Fury i think… the USN did operate them.

Is that one of the Hungarian or Czech C’s?… Swedish ones say “Fara” rather then “danger” on the intake…

And certainly from what I have read the US officials did not usually ask too many questions of men travelling to Canada..

You certainly havent been riding in my car! I get alot of crap from US border guards!!! I was called a traitor for studying air forces in Canada rather then the US…

Here is a challege! Anyone have some pics of Swedish interceptions? I know I have seen a few out there but cant seem to find them… Anyone got some?

They fly!
