A U.S. Navy fighter pilot's air-to-air photograph captures the tail of a Soviet Tu-95 'Bear' reconnaissance aircraft, its red star insignia clearly visible against the sky. Taken by a VF-162 aviator aboard USS Ticonderoga during the Vietnam War era, this image documents the routine Cold War practice of intercepting and photographing Soviet aircraft shadowing U.S. carrier battle groups in the Pacific.
