[/i] Yawn! Total non-story. This was a daily occurrence during thr cold-war - and probably still happens weekly - on both sides - we just don't usually hear about it.

If binary penetration is not a true threat, then software piracy is legal. [/quote]
Original Message
"A United States Air Force reconnaissance plane was barrel-rolled by a Russian jet over the Baltic Sea during a routine flight in international airspace, U.S. European Command said Saturday.
The incident on Thursday occurred when a Russian jet "performed erratic and aggressive maneuvers" as it flew within 50 feet of the U.S. aircraft's wing tip, Danny Hernandez, a spokesman for European Command, said in a response to a question from CNN."
