Phartycr0c Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 (edited) US Navy Pacific today announced the first successful re supply flight using a C17 Air Force transporter on a Nimitz class Aircraft carrier. This new capability will mean faster more regular re supply of rations and equipment. It is believed the RAF will follow suit with trial being conducted on the deck of the Illustrious Ok Ok so it might be in the wrong place!

upnorth Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 (edited) Ha ha very nice artwork! So where did the top cover of dust on the flight deck come from??? Clearly the C-17 is in the process of crashing THROUGH the carrier deck, so the dust would be coming from the destruction of underlying components and structures under the deck. An oldie but a goodie there. Edited October 8, 2008 by upnorth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
