| On 11 May of an unknown year, a pair of ROKAF F-5As intercepted this Soviet An-8 some 70nm east of Ullung Island, of the eastern Korean coast, while it was collecting nuclear fall-out after a Chinese nuclear test two days earlier. (Tom Cooper collection) |
In response to our call for additional "in action" photographs of NATO and allied fighters intercepting Soviet and Soviet-built (or similar) bombers, patrol aircraft, and transports, Jin Ho from South Korea has sent us this highly interesting collection!

| ...from the other side, also an ROKAF F-4E in company... |

We hope to be able to considerably enlargen this collection in the the future, and would like to invite contributions from everyone with additional photographs - especially the pilots which participated in some of such "Bear Hunts".
