I didnt know most of this. Interesting read.........
One thing I read m any times back then, when our air defense saw these planes they launched and wer just about on the scene. As they closed in to take the jets out. THEY WERE TOLD TO STAND DOWN AND RETURN TO BASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHY IN THE **** do you suppose that happened????????????????????
If ANYONE here can explain why this happened with a logical sane reason they were told to stand down, I am all ears and eyes. I still dont have an answer for this.

Realist - Everybody in America is soft, and hates conflict. The cure for this, both in politics and social life, is the same -- hardihood. Give them raw truth.
