How far away?

1,000 yards and 500 ft! - That's well within the guidelines used by a shrinking airforce near you which used to fly Maritime Patrol aircraft.

To be fair I do have photos of RAF Jaguars significantly closer to Soviet Navy ships - back in the days when Kriegsmarine Starfighters would overfly the Baltic Sea AGI at Mach 1.

And ... among others, photos of Soviet Navy May's lifting their wings to avoid the masts of Royal Navy Frigates.

Yes this sort of thing does go on ...

Let's just hope we don't have another case of 'AGEIS Arrogance' and the jolly yankee sailors just enjoy the show.
