We recently had the USS Carl Vinson sail into Fremantle for the ANZAC celebrations (the equivalent of our Remembrance Day). Pretty impressive, although it had to anchor about half a mile offshore as it was physically to big to get into the harbour.
Famous carrier this one, its the one which carried the body of Osama Bin Laden out to sea for burial. It also had the only official NCAA basket ball game staged on board.

How do they float eh?
|
Then a couple of weekends ago we went to Pearce RAAF Air Base, which is only 20/25 minutes up the road and they had a fly past by the worlds biggest aircraft, the B52 bomber. Once again, too big to land.

How does it stay up there?
|
It passed over at about 1000ft, you could actually see the wings flexing as it went overhead, incredible.
We went shopping to our favourite place last week, Midland, spotted this one, perhaps not the biggest arse in the world, but she has gotta be right up there eh?
