Why would the USAF be attempting to gain UK-airspace air-superiority or supremacy over the RAF? That's not their mission at all and they are certainly not adversaries. Based on my understanding, both are intercepting and tracking Bears (with Tornadoes, Typhoons, Falcons and Eagles) and constantly train and drill in coordinated cooperative exercises.

Never got that part of the conversation. *shrug* I was more focused on the bird strike risk to both USAF and RAF aircraft and was under the impression that you were implying that there was an adversarial relation between the two and that the geese "were doing their part to rid the British skies of those damned Yanks".

But geese don't have IFF! Well, except for the RAF 408 Tactical Helicopter Squadron. Okay, I guess that I've rolled into the joking side of the conversation. Late Edit: Oooops, my bad. RCAF.
