``Many nations around the world send up aircraft to just have a look-see as to who is getting close to their airspace,'' Quigley said. He said the United States did this routinely during the Cold War when Soviet bombers approached Alaskan airspace.(cont) Absolutely. The Soviets would go after our RC-135 CobraBall mission all the time. Seems they didn't like us collecting missile telemetry. And it's also quite likely why they shot down KAL 007 back in the '80s, mistaking it for an RC-135. This stuff goes on all the time. Our subs track theirs, and they make feeble attempts to track ours. From time to time people get to close for comfort and accidents occur. But hardly an escalation. When they start shooting, that's when we should get worried. Hell, we used to fly RC-47 reconaissance mission directly over Northern Russian in an attempt to test their air defense network. And with the Stealth technolgy we have now, there is no guarantee that we aren't still doing it. Regards, Ron
