Its kind of surreal as from the 1980s till a decade ago (the retirement of the USN F-14D )- various carrier based F-14A/D were embarked - shadowing / escorting any of the Soviet Frontal Aviation TU-16/22/95/160 that came close to any battle group so one would see a pair of Tomcats escorting away a curious TU-95 or TU-22
