TU-95 Bear Bomber

"Ain't No Slack On The Tin"
A pilot for a civilian contractor - Munz Airlines, I think it was - who was delivering mail to the site once spotted a Russian Bear bomber over-flying us and asked if he should intercept. Since the Man From Munz was in something akin to a Piper Cub, I've always wondered just what he'd have done had we answered in the affirmative. I believe he did get close enough to take a very good picture of the intruding aircraft.
Those guys have all the nerve in the world, plus some. When I first arrived at Tin City, all I could see was "Herman" (our name for the combination of fog and swirling snow that often caused whiteouts around the site) and I expected the pilot to turn back. Not so, he somehow saw the landing strip and - much to my dismay - put us down...took me a few minutes to unpucker enough to get out of my seat.
