It was allowed....LOL

Total BS....its as if the USA has No radar and anyone can just 'fly right on in' and whatever and caught us by surprise some how ..

Wow......-!

I was at Farnborough Air Show some years ago and looked up to see what appeared to be a fighter jet with Russian markings in the sky above.

I immediately ran to the nearest RAF officer I could find to report that either was something wrong with our radar or the Russians had developed stealth technology as the bugger was up there flaunting himself of full view and none of our jets had been scrambled to intercept him.

He just gave me a funny look and walked away shaking his head as if to say I was telling lies or mad!

That's whats wrong with this bloody country nowadays. No-one believes the man in the street.

LOL You do realize that Russia Air Force aircraft have routinely displayed at Farnborough?

Even during Soviet times



They were regulars even after the collapse of the Soviet Union

Yes it was allowed. Did you even realize that the Russian Air Force Tu-154 had US military observers on board? Obviously you have never heard of the Open Skies Treaty?

The Tu-154 that overflew parts of the US was a Russian Air Force variant specially adpated as a surveillance aircraft for the Open Skies Treaty.

It was this very aircraft registration RF-85655. The one seen in the video.

Read the following. This is where the Tu-154 was based during its scheduled over flights of the US.

This is nothing new. The Russian Air Force Tu-154 conducted Open Skies overflights of the US and Canada back in April 2017

The Russian Air Force Tu-154 was also flying with transponders on - See the following for playbacks of some of the missions over the US.

Would have made a great photo op - Russian fighter over the Pentagon! They should give photographers prior warning!

Not a fighter, but still would have been a great photo opportunity.

To scare people, just like the stories about Russian planes flying near the coast. They were obviously here for something nefarious. [/sarc]
