Some amazing photographs there. Especially the one of a 4 plane with their front main gear water "skiing".

My first thought at that part was " my god, what if someone has to under run?!"

My second was "damn, I've worked in Safety/NATOPS far too long!"

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 USS NIMITZ, CVN 68 carrier deck for transport to Crete where the appropriate tank bladders were installed. It was then flown back to Beirut.
