It never occurred to me, is the ground clearing enough for the Tomcat to land on an aircraft carrier with fuel tanks like this? I'll try to refrain from being wise (although I was really tempted on this one). Question: Isn't that photo taken on a carrier? Answer: Yes Question: So how did it get there? Answer: Landed there (yes, with those tanks). They do appear rather large, but the shock strut only retracts a little more (on landing impact) than shown in the photo. Them there Tomcats are VERY thirsty so they need all the petrol they can git! They don't use petrol. John
