    I want to see this B-52 land on the carrier. That would be a trick.

    The idea stems from the famous Doolittle Raid of WW2.

    The largest plane that I know of that landed and took off from an aircraft carrier was a C-130 that accomplished the feat aboard the USS Forrestal.

    Lmao, is it an Airbus A380 or a B52? The title alone gave it away.

    I like all of the Arma footage being passed as "real." Even a few "news" agencies have been duped.

    Going to get harder and harder to recognize the real deal the better AI gets.
