You mean like our B-52 fleet that is older than every crew member flying them? And have one family that is up to the third generation of B-52 pilot?
Pentagon Claims Russian Nuclear Bombers Invaded US Airspace Near Alaska
"They are testing us, they are testing our defences, they are testing our reactions and they are engaging to a degree in a game of chicken and that's very dangerous.
"So we are seeing the possibility of mid-air collision, not between RAF and Russia aircraft, but between Russian aircraft and civilian aircraft, increasing."

Oh, come on really….IS that what you think is going on here? Russia is playing 'chicken' with the US? I suppose the build up of current US forces in Ukraine as well as incursions into the Black sea and Moldova Transnistria have nothing to do with the sudden Russian 'aggressive' response.

Two Russian nuclear-capable bombers intruded into the US air defense zone near Alaska last week, the Washington Free Beacon website quoted Pentagon officials as saying on Friday.
