;D It makes for a very cunning disguise when you don't wear it out in public...

Oh yeah, the Tu-22M Backfire is a cool looking machine. Another one of my favorites is the Tu-95 Bear. I love those massive counter-rotating turboprops. I read somewhere that the ends of the blades at cruising speed actually rotate at supersonic speeds. Regardless, its one helluva clean looking machine for a turboprop.

The Tu-95 is the only plane that could be tracked via sonar.
