I was talking to a co-worker who was a military jet pilot back in the 60s...He said that the Cuban missile Crisis really ended when JFK sent 2 or 3 B-58 Hustler bombers on a low level, under the radar, mission to buzz Moscow.He didn't say wheather it was night or day....He said that just before they buzzed the Kremlin JFK called Kruschev and told him to look out his window..Has anyone heard that before??? Does it sound plausable????The B-58 was a supersonic, delta winged, h-bomb carrying bomber which ate tremendous amounts of fuel and was very dangerous to fly....
Bump for later
FRegards.
I remember that, it was hilarious (from a safe distance).
