Fake?

Das Bild kann man (ich) nicht direkt reinlinken, es ist ein B52 der UNTER der Flugdeckkante eines Trägers an diesem vorbeifliegt - auf jeden Fall ein gutes Foto.

This is not photoshopped. It happened in early 1990 in the Persian Gulf, while U.S. carriers and B-52s were holding joint exercises. Two B-52s called the carrier (USS Ranger) and asked if they could do a fly-by, and the carrier air controller said yes. When the B-52s reported they were 9 kilometers out, the carrier controller said he didn't see them. The B-52s told the carrier folks to look down. The paint job on the B-52 made it hard to see from above, but as it got closer, the sailors could make it out, and the water the B-52 jets were causing to spray out. It's very, very rare for a USAF aircraft to do a fly-by below the flight deck of a carrier. But B-52s had been practicing low level flights for years, to come in under Soviet radar. In this case, the B-52 pilots asked the carrier controller if they would like the bombers come around again. The carrier guys said yes, and a lot more sailors had their cameras out this time.

Danke!

Das Foto ist in der Tat sehr beeindruckend. Wenn es ein Fake ist, dann ist es verdammt gut gemacht. Trotzdem würde mich brennend interessieren, ob das nun eine Fotomontage oder ein Abbild der Wirklichkeit ist ...
