During the time I was based in West Berlin in the late 80's, we would fly the three corridors in the 727 to different cities in West Germany. You had to be careful to stay in the center of the airway so as to not violate airspace. Many times a Russian fighter jet would slide up next to us and we would wave to each other.

One time, a Russian fighter jet flew up on our left side and there was an exchange of hand gestures that in one of the signs looked like "hey, you guys are number one!" Well, it was a one finger gesture. The Russian fighter was only a few hundred feet off our left side when our flight engineer got up from his seat and went over to the left rear cockpit window and dropped his pants and mooned the fighter pilot. You could see the Russian laugh and give us a "thumbs up." He then hit the AB, pulled up and disappeared.
