Message: How 'bout U.S vs. Ukraine people? When USSR split, a good portion of air & missle power was based there, and Moscow didn't say squat to 'em. Two years later I'm watchin' two MiG-29's come screamin' up the Niagara river (N.Y.) as part of an air show, then land at N.F. airbase. That was on July 4, 1990 (for real!)Ex Soviets flyin' overhead on Independence Day, and I still got the right to vote! Moscow was busy pokin' all the other former republics then 'cause they knew enough to not tick off the one(s) that had some real firepower behind 'em. Always consider the 'quiet ones' if you're gonna bar brawl. I think Moscow did. Thoughts, anyone?

Message: Looks-wise, the B-17 & B-1 do it for me. Had an uncle who was bombardier in a Lancaster (WW2) w/ Canadian RAF. He made it home O.K. in it.
