So was my brother, support. Told me stories about how the
“lead sled” would cruise down the Kamchatka peninsula and bait
the soviet fighters to a chase. Was told that the soviets
would burn out their engines in minutes trying to climb
a ballistic arch to fire missiles. Trivia: At speed, the
plane climbed at 3k feet a minute at one degree of climb.
