...took off at the head of four aircraft on a routine training mission. Once airborne, he headed for Taiwan. The other planes in his group tried to pursue, but turned back when they saw Nationalist Chinese jets that had been alerted by radar. Fan dipped his wings -the signal Taiwan had broadcast -and his jet was escorted to Tainan...
...East and West have remained all too tangible along the border between the two Germanies. For more than a generation, elite units of NATO and Warsaw Pact forces, the world's two most powerful war machines, have faced each other across this heavily guarded 836-mile frontier. To signal clearly that it remains determined to defend Western Europe, even in the face of a massive Warsaw Pact arms and troop buildup, the U.S. next year plans to base an additional 3,800-man infantry brigade in West Germany, near Bremerhaven. Meanwhile, crack U.S. units continue to patrol more than...
Past Transgressions.

Finally, after a signal from Valdez, workmen will open valves at Prudhoe, allowing long-capped crude to fill the line behind the pig. The moving oil will push the pig through the 48-in.-diameter steel pipe at 1 m.p.h. As it goes, the cylinder will shove out of the pipe any refuse that...
...Norwegian Royal Air Force F-104G Starfighters. The fighters usually intercept the Badger within a few minutes; one of them hangs off the Soviet craft's tail, while the other flies just ahead of its nose. The lead Norwegian Starfighter will then waggle its wings in a signal to the Soviet pilot to turn back before he has violated Norwegian airspace. If the Russian ignores the warning, the Norwegian leader will, in response, slip under the Tu-16's wings and then gently raise his wing to within inches of the Soviet plane, forcing the intruder to turn...
