December 19, 1977 the pilots of the Fighter Squadron VF-31 intercepted and escorted a pair of Soviet TU-95 RTs "Bear D" that over-flew and took photos of the aircraft carrier "USS Saratoga" (CVA-60), while she was returning from her tour of duty in the Mediterranean Sea to her base in Mayport, Florida. On that day, two F-4 Phantom fighter jets flew out to intercept the Bears. The interception happened some 700-800 kms to the east of Bermuda Islands. I was looking at the Saratoga website and hoped that you might be able to help me. I am trying to find out the names of the 4 crewman aboard the F-4 that day. There were 2 pilots and 2 RIO's.
