Two Russian strategic TU-160 bombers flew 13 hours across the Arctic and Atlantic Oceans last week to Venezuela, ostensibly for joint maneuvers with the South American nation. The bombers reportedly carried no nuclear weapons and were escorted throughout their flights by NATO fighters.
President Hugo Chavez welcomed the warcraft with glee and announced that he was hoping to pilot a TU-160 himself. In preparation, Chavez has been reviewing flight theory in a simulator. Apparently, Chavez has a goal.
Addressing his close friend Fidel Castro, Chavez said: "I'm going to fly a Tu-160. Fidel, I'm going to fly low past you there."So, Hugo Chavez, who chews coca every day and has severely compromised vision due to permanent eye damage, is going to joyride a Russian strategic bomber at low altitudes over Cuba.
Good times.
