Description
US B-47s bound for the USSR are intercepted by Soviet fighters. This never happened in the Bad Old Days of the Cold War but it could have if things had gone wrong.
Thanks for looking and all comments are appreciated.

Nice active thunderhead building. Darn nice positioning of the aircraft.
Looking good!!!
Aweseome image and realism.
Good picture. Without a fighter escort I cant think the B-47s stand much chance. You can coexist with bad, sane people but not with mad people. We survived Communism but they still believed in this world. The sort of people who commit suicide are quite mad. People like that are limited only by their capacity not their will. America and the willing allies attacked the wrong target. Iraq was never a serious threat but now the American public is unlikely to support intervention against Iran even though, this time, it poses a genuine danger.
Good image ( sorry, I have been out of the loop for a while ) Becky
Excellent work! although, since we're playing a what if, shouldn't the bombers have at least one fighter escort for just such a situation?
Outstanding as always Im liking this one much my friend
Lovely image Dave, Just glad it didnt go any further than it did.. But mad men with nothing to lose or who dont care if they die or think they are dying for their god / cause are indeed more of a threat.. Great work there my friend..wonderful!!

No hot war, but a cold one. We lost several aircraft in this war!

stunning scene in this one, love those clouds, superb work my friend
wonderful picture!
This picture reminds me of that scene with the texan guy riding the H-bomb down in Dr. Strangelove. Nice picture.
We all lived in fear that it just might happen.. Great pic.. I am sorry about commenting so late. I have been so busy trying to resolve a problem with Poser 8 in the forum. I have also had an overnight stay in hospital. Nothing serious, just testing.
Very cool image, my friend. Looking great against those clouds.. You have a goody out the bag.. Thank goodness... Rob..
This is beautiful!
