(if anyone has an F-16 intercept of a bear, post it. Also wondering if there any F-22 ones out yet, as Frozen Mike has said they moved F22's to Alaska)

Thankfully we have the Canadians and British to help us make sure they get back home.

our technology keeps getting better, and theirs....
The Russians are starting their campaign season, so their candidates try to show who can make Russia more powerful. Here, in the US, in our campaign season, the Leftists try to show who can make the US the least powerful!

The wikipedia site does not indicate that Canada flew the F-4.
It looks like a CF-101

hilarious, but, that's an F-OneOhDeuce. GWB flew F-106s in the TANG. Similar design, but the vertical stab was clipped rather than the pure delta on the 102.
Spek anyway!

President Bush was born on July 6, 1946, in New Haven, Connecticut, and grew up in Midland and Houston, Texas. He received a bachelor’s degree in history from Yale University in 1968, and then served as an F-102 fighter pilot in the Texas Air National Guard. President Bush received a Master of Business Administration from Harvard Business School in 1975. Following graduation, he moved back to Midland and began a career in the energy business. After working on his father’s successful 1988 Presidential campaign, President Bush assembled the group of partners who purchased the Texas Rangers baseball franchise in 1989. On November 8, 1994, President Bush was elected Governor of Texas. He became the first Governor in Texas history to be elected to consecutive 4-year terms when he was re-elected on November 3, 1998.

By Jove you're right. I always thought he flew F-106's. I stand corrected sir.
