American humor against Russian ...

This story was told to me by my grandfather. At that time, he served in the regiment of long-range strategic aviation. This story takes place during the time of ardent friendship between the USSR and Cuba.
Then our long-range strategic bombers Tu-95 regularly circling around Cuba and made an aerial survey of all that is possible. By the way, the Americans in the area kept their warships, including aircraft carriers and more.
So, flying over the ocean one Tu-95 (By the way, who do not know what the Tu-95: it ogromadnaya Mahina, with a wingspan of about 85 meters - wider than the deck of an aircraft carrier, with 4 healthy engines and 8 3 meter screws), nobody touches flies and flies to him the American side interceptor (just at the rate of the Tu-95 was an aircraft carrier of the states).
 The pilot showed signs "open bomb bay" (you never know, suddenly there is a carcass bomb and he flies to sink its airfield). Our pilots opened his bomb bay. The pilot flew up from the bottom, seeing that nothing but the photographic equipment is not there, calm down. Again, coming up with the carcass, he smiled, winked, and then showed the belly of his aircraft with air-to-air missiles, on what turned the carcass menacing his 8th guns (exchange of courtesies, so to speak). But the pilot was not satisfied and decided to make a joke - he showed the command "Sit!".
Our asked again:
 - Sit down.
 - «Yes!»
 - "On the aircraft carrier ?!»
 - «Yes!»
 - "OK" - said Russian and approaching the aircraft carrier went to the landing ...
 But as they went to land ...... have lowered the height and speed ... put forth all its flaps and prikrylki .... Nose in the air .... Even the landing gear !!!
So the American sailors, seeing that now they sit this machine and the deck, aircraft, people and buildings leave one deck, began to jump into the water !!! A nasty little height - about a 9-storey building. Our course is not got, and at the last moment turned away and flew at the minimum height to hide from enemy radar.
 As they say eyewitnesses at the airport after landing, our pilots laughing literally fell out of the plane.
