Should have blasted them out of the air, just like the Russkies did to KAL 007.

Those are them BIG SOBs.

Ruskies like to make big craft. This one is interesting because it is a turboprop. The B-52 has about double the capacity and about the same speed.

I know it would have been emotionally satisfying to splash it, but I mean, the Dutch pulled 'em over. Does it get better than that?

I’d be really curious to know exactly where these guys showed up in the “Dutch area of responsibility”, wherever that is.
