I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

LO, indeed the Mig 25 would qualify and probably the Foxhound.

On one occasion it completed a successful intercept of an SR71. It missed on the SR71 ingress to the Baltic but had more warning on the egress. The Foxbat was reported to have crossed about 10-12 miles astern in what was assessed as inside the launch envelope. On recovery to East Germany it violated Swedish, Norwegian, Danish and West German airspace.
