Photos Interceptions !!!

[F.L.]

This thread is dedicated to photos of interceptions, those "hot" moments of military aviation in peacetime.
These photos, often quite extraordinary, show aircraft that are rarely seen together.
Here, a ROCAF FCK-1 intercept a PLAAF H-6.

Two Soviet MiG-29 en route to an air show in British Columbia, Canada, are intercepted by F-15 Eagle of the 21st Tactical Fighter Wing. The Soviet MiG-29s are, for the first time, traveling to the Abbotsford International Airshow in Abbotsford, BC, Canada, to participate in the August 1989 airshow. The USAF F-15 Eagle interceptors actively guarding North American and United States of America's airspace are with the 21st Tactical Fighter Wing, headquartered at Elmendorf Air Force Base (AFB), Alaska, USA.
