[sky37d]

Today marks the 10th anniversary of Skymasters shot down in international airspace by Cuban Migs.
There is a story at the Miami Herald, http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/13929189.htm
about it. There is also a documentary, http://www.theshootdown.com/ and if you let it play for a minute, has a representation of the timing and location.

Looks like it'll be a really good film - RIP to the victims. Amazingly enough, I had never heard this story. Thank you for posting this.

I remember this incident. And, like everything else dealing with the government, there is PLENTY of Bullsh!t that was slung about this on BOTH sides of the fence. If you study up on it, you will find that there is WAY more to the story than either side has ever admitted, and more than some one sided indepently produced film will ever portray.
