An Air Force B-52H says hello to USS Ranger (CV-61) in 1990.

The B-52 requested a flyby, which was granted. Supposedly the following exchange ensued:

"We're nine miles out", the BUFF pilot announced.

"We have no visual" Ranger's air boss replied.

"Look down."

-----
The B-52's nose-down attitude looks alarming, but that's normal - they fly slightly nose-low.
