Me too. Who can forget the Hainan Island incident from 2001. I pray our men and women stay safe out there.

“I pray our men and women stay safe out there.”

Occupational hazard. Fighter cowboys are the same throughout the world. These games of “chicken” are the same for everyone.

From the 60’s to present, the Russians have been invading American air space over the Alaskan peninsula with all kinds of aircraft causing our fighters to scramble and invite them to leave with some of the same tactics used by the Chinese here.

What goes around...........

"Who can forget the Hainan Island incident from 2001."

Given that incident, isn't there some way to provide an escort, or some other protection, when they're flying near the Chicoms?
