"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,

Post by: ozrocker on July 05, 2011, 09:56:01 AM: 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

Fake, photoshop. Look at the shaddow contrast of the B-52 anb the fighter jets. Also, are the tips of the B-52 wing supposd to hange real low off the ground? If so, why is the right wing hoovering over a fighter jet?
