One of my favorite USN CV pics the USS Midway CV-41(Left) and the USS Indpendence CV-62 in Pearl Harbour HI in August 1991. CV-62 was relieving CV-41 of her duties in the 7th fleet.

Its rather inefficient to transport gasoline like that(not to mention unsafe). Uranium? Liquid nitrogen? both too dangerous, although the russians wernt really the cautious kind.

Cosmonaut training capsule?

I don't know what that thing is but cosmonaut training capsule sounds good. An airpalne can go in a dive in some sort of manuver and create a short state of zero gravity in the cabin.

Here's a pic of a modified Boeing 747 giving the Space Shuttle a "piggy back" ride.

Re: World Armed Forces Pic Thread

If you look really closely, both the (il-76?) rear tail fins and the 747 rear tail fins have been modified in a similar manner. They might serve similar missions. This il-76 may be operated by the RKA, the russian equivalent of NASA.

That modified 3M is the predesscor of the An-225 for piggy back transporting. Not that I know what it transports.
