I'm thinking that may have been Photoshopped :)

They would never set it on the fighter or the radar plane.  :headscratch:
http://www.navsource.org/archives/02/026813.jpg


 "While this may look like a gag shot, it is actually a “transport of a transport” necessity. The B-52 was in Beirut, Lebanon undergoing routine fuel tank cleaning. Workmen accidentally damaged the bladder system and had to install the bladders from smaller C-130s temporarily. The plane was flown to nearby McCollough Air Base where it was lifted upon a barge bound for Tyre on the Mediterranean. Once there it was off-loaded onto the carrier deck for transport to Crete where the appropriate tank bladders were installed. It was then flown back to Beirut. Military cooperation in action."

Casts,

I thought it was a good shoppe, except for the fact that there was a jet under the nose!

Still funny to look at O_o

He landed properly ahead of the tower.  This way when he takes off he won't catch the right wing on the tower.

B-52 wingspan is some 180 feet wide. I'm not sure but I don't think a modern carrier deck is that wide.

Looks like "Saratoga" Class width of 280 feet which would leave 100 ft overhang for b52 wingspan.

So FAIL on photoshopper for thinking CV so slim:) Unless was on Diet huh

Course I'm probably wrong :rofl
