Does anyone have the pictures from the overflight that the Russian/Chinese Jets did of USS Kitty Hawk back in 2000? That it was Russian made aircrafts seems to be certain, but was it Russian or Chinese pilots?

Mazepa, All that I have researched seems to indicate that the pilots were Russians. Honestly the first I ever heard of this story was on this site as posted by MIGleader(I think) some months ago. I guarntee you that know the USN like I do someone was relieved of his duties over this incident and is now "frozen" in rank.

This is what should happen when an "unfriendly" aircraft flys close to a CSG. this pic is aboyt 20 years old. From the USS Midway CV-41.

Since it's not about China at this point.
It'd been moved to world defence forum.
