Ever? Most definitely, the Russians use to deploy a small task force to Cuba occasionally, and we would overfly them regularly. I am sure there were other instances as well.
Recently? I don't know, I don't think the Russians put major Naval forces to sea anymore in regions where the US might be tempted to fly over, but I could be wrong.
When I was in the Navy, I remember being overflown by Badgers, Bears, and an IL-38 Mays when we were operating near Norway.
