Here's an interesting site I ran across, with various historical anecdotes from Russian pilots, on their involvement during the Cuban Missile Crisis: link |

I did not know that the Soviets sent MIG21 and IL28 aircraft to Cuba. Would make for some interesting CY6 scenarios. Mark |

Yea, especially after the U-2 shootdown, and with all the low-level RF-8 Crusader sorties over the island as well. Lots of good fodder there for some air battles. |
