When was the last time a cuban jet overflew the U.S.?
A couple in the 90s i think are the most recent.

Here’s a few examples. We didn’t shoot at either. Short of open war, seeing an aircraft stray into your space is never justification alone to open fire.

I recall a few airplanes from America within recent memory being shot at/down by the Cuban government for “straying” into their sovereign airspace.
