Considering we have flown a B-52 to Russia as a symbol of goodwill (I
guess). I have always hoped that we might be able to obtain a Tu-95 for
permanent display in a US museum as it was so prominently used and
intercepted by US aircraft in the cold war. Has anyone ever heard of an
attempt to get a Tu-95 here?
