Item description for SOVIET TU-95 BEAR E NO. 84 B&W 8 X 10 U.S. NAVY PHOTOGRAPH 1976 RARE

This is a black & white 8 x 10 photograph taken on 26 August 76 by VF-154 while escorting a TU-95 Bear E Russian bomber Number 84 during an overflight of the USS RANGER (CV-61).

It was traditional for the Soviets to over fly US aircraft carriers when they deployed to Western Pacific (Both ways) and, of course, it was a matter of pride to detect and intercept the bomber well before it reached the ship. Occasionally, the bomber would be a photo reconnaissance version.
