Flying over eastern/middle Russia last night standing at the back on a BA777 with the lerger windows in the emergency hatches i was talking to a fellow passanger and done a double take "**** look at that !" as something some thousands of feet below us and off to the left zooms past, really really fast ! a big grey/black bomber at a guess, did nit look like a fighter but could have been.
At a guess a Tupolev Tu-22M, the Tu-160's are huge and white so it was not one of them.
Sure we always see lots of commercial aircraft and living in Singapore i see lots of military jets like F-16's (Every day if i want) and growing up near the Evan's head bombing range also saw the AU F-111's but for me its not that often you see Russian military aircraft (Except the heavy lift A/C parked at many airports around the world).
Anybody else seen anything interesting in the air on a commercial flight ?
Sorry my description is not great of the plane as we really did only see it for a short time, it was going significantly faster than we were.
