Russian flights smack of Cold War;
U.S. fighters ID bombers near Alaska

BYLINE: By Rowan Scarborough, THE WASHINGTON TIMES

SECTION: PAGE ONE; EXCLUSIVE; A01

Russian bombers have stepped up provocative flight exercises off the
Alaskan coast, reminiscent of Cold War incursions designed to rattle
U.S. air defenses.

"Rattle".....they simply probe.....glad to see they were promptly
intercepted,
and they got to see the F-22 up close.....

Mark

Which is probably exactly what they were doing, getting a look at F-22s.
