On Topic old tidbit - bummer
While looking for something else, reading site:
http://www.silent-warriors.com/shootdown_list.html I found this bummer: 25 May 1968 A Soviet Tu-16 Badger buzzed a group of US Navy vessels, including the USS Essex (CVS-9), off the coast of northern Norway. Shortly after passing low over the Essex, the Soviet bomber banked and one wing tip hit the sea. The plane then cartwheeled and exploded. There were no survivors. Show-boating, or just routine goof-up?
