U.S. Navy fighters intercept a Soviet Tu-95 'Bear' bomber during the Vietnam War era. Photographed from the air wing of USS Ticonderoga, this image shows a VF-111 'Sundowners' F-8 Crusader and an F-4 Phantom II shadowing the Soviet long-range bomber, a routine but tense Cold War mission that continued even as U.S. carriers operated in Southeast Asian waters.
