You must admire how the Americans play around with concepts. Even if we had the capability, could you imagine any European country actually having a go at dropping an ICBM from a transport aircraft?
Another one that always impresses me is the C130 gunship - "Hey, let's put a big gun in the side of a C130".
......or landing a C130/U2 on a carrier.
Of course, some of the ideas are barking but at least they give it a go.

Ah, that looks like the USA's plan to fly a C-130 full of guys who wear black tape across their eyes into Iran, land inside a football stadium, come to a stop, hooligans do their abseiling through windows stuff, then take-off out of the stadium! What a crazy idea! I find it ironic they called it "Credible". I would have loved to have seen it work for real. Maybe they can do it at the next Superbowl for half time entertainment, they could drop off the match ball out the back end :-)
