Russian trawlers used to sit offshore at the end of the runway on Guam, spying on us, er I mean fishing. This went on for the entire cold war. One day a B-52 decided to have some fun with one of these boats. The pilot turned his plane in the direction of the trawler, went low and slow. Just before the plane flew over the trawler, the pliot opened his bomb bay doors. The entire B-52 crew said all they saw were a$$holes and elbows of sailors jumping off of the ship. It must have been most of the ship's company. The plane then continued on it's mission. I think the Russians put in a complaint to the State Department.
