Indeed.

What gets me is how small it looks against the carrier!

And the captain of the carrier has just said 'No you can't land here. Now bugger off and find a bigger runway!'

I can't believe the pair of them were allowed to do a second fly-by!

Nah, you're all wrong. It's actually a B52 cat shot where someone forgot to say "ready, steady, go" to the pilot...

Classic display of B-52 wing flex, showing the negative fuselage angle for a positive wing AOA! Probably lucky they didn't have the gear down, or they might have gone fishing!

Ditto, just spent the last hour or so looking at those. Stand outs for me are the Havoc crash, Mossie shot and the F18 @ Detroit. Plenty of amazing pictures there for sure.

Been reading a few books on WWII bomber operations. Interesting stuff in there including low flying and bombs on board and things shooting at you form above and below. No pictures unfortunately but some hairy tales. Hats off to them fella's.
