In 1989, American pilots performed what was probably the most spectacular flyby by long-range bombers.
During the Cold War, Russian aircraft repeatedly attempted to scout and photograph American ships. As a result, the U.S. launched an exercise in which B-52 bombers played the role of the Russians and tried to scout the aircraft carrier. The latter, in turn, was to detect the threat in time and dispatch interceptors. Once the bombers spotted the carrier, they bragged about it and asked permission for a flyby.
The air traffic controller on board said he couldn't spot them anywhere, but the pilots radioed back that he should look down. At an incredibly low altitude, the B-52s sped past the carrier, so low that they even disappeared below the flight deck. The pilots had practiced low-level flights for years in order to fly undetected under Soviet radar, and now they showed what they were capable of. When asked if they should come around again, all the sailors enthusiastically answered "yes" and this time everyone had their cameras pulled out, creating these unique pictures.
