The Vulcan "nuked" us...twice.
During war games in the 60s, multiple Vulcans penetrated US airspace without being detected and "nuked" us. The US government kept it classified for over 30 years.
The Vulcan was also used as a conventional bomber during the Falklands War. Really cool looking plane, too.
