Reminds me of the cannon ball run, is there a flight equivalent?
- stenius 4y agoNot really. Maybe the Air Race Classic[1] is the closest I think think of. [1] https://www.airraceclassic.org/ https://www.airraceclassic.org/

Honorable mention goes to the Swedes with the Saab Viggen who managed to get missile lock on the SR-71 as it cruised through a narrow corridor past their airspace. The Viggen wasn't fast enough on its own, but much like modern cannonball runs, careful planning and coordination made it possible.
