Eagle Intercept by Philip West

At the height of the Cold War, the Russian Tupolev Tu-95 Bear long-range bombers roamed the world's skies. On constant alert, the interceptors of the First Air Force were tasked with the air defense of continental United States. Depicted in a magnificent cloudscape, a pair of F-15A Eagles of the 125th Fighter Wing, Florida Air National Guard, based at Jacksonville IAP, Florida, intercept a Russian Tupolev Tu-95 Bear en route non-stop from Moscow to Havana, Cuba. High over the Atlantic, the F-15 pilots give the Russian crew a reminder of what to expect is push comes to shove.
