USS Nimitz carrying a B-52
Obviously, not a Truxtun photo.. but, I couldn't pass up sharing it
True story...bet the bad guy's satellites went berserk looking at this one....!
( and it wasn't the Navy paying off a bet against AF.)
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.
