PACIFIC OCEAN (April 23, 2008) A B-52 Stratofortress is intercepted by two Navy F/A-18 Hornets as it flies past the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz (CVN 68). The B-52 is from the 96th Expeditionary Bomb Squadron deployed to Andersen Air Force Base, Guam.

Since it’s Flying Low Friday, here’s some bonus content.

By “Big Stick”, I thought you were talking about Teddy.

Hmm, I’d expect big stick content to involve CVN-71 rather than Nimitz or Ranger.

Please tell me there’s some optical illusion going on here, and that B-52 is not 75-100 feet off the deck.

It’s a metaphor.

No optical illusion. That Buff was flying below the deck level of the carrier. Google it.

Cripes. Someone was looking to be busted down to flying rubber dog shit out of Hong Kong...

You would think. I was just reading about that murderer. So many times he could have been stopped before he killed three men.

I have no pity for him.  At all.  And there’s blood on the hands of those who continued to let him fly - which sadly includes at least one of the people he killed.

The size of this stick permits the wielder to speak in whatever volume they prefer

One day, when I'm out I'll do a very large photo dump.
