is this photo real?

It was not done in PhotoShop or any other photo editing tool. The picture
was taken between Hawaii and San Francisco aboard the USS Enterprise on its'
way back from WestPac in 1978. It is one of a series of pictures which can
be found in the cruise book (pages 118 and 119.)

The old Plymouth belonged to RVAH-1. For years it had been used as a "Crew
Car" by various detachments as they rotated through Cubi Point. The 1978
cruise was RVAH-1's last. The RA-5C was being retired from naval service
upon their return.

My two sons and I were standing on the bridge beside the photographer as
this picture was taken.

Why was it done? To entertain the crew and their family member who had come
aboard in Hawaii for the "Tiger Cruise."

A friend emailed this to me. ... Ok: is this an actual event or a joke done
in photoshop? and if it's real what was the point? If any of you know the
answer I'd appreciate it ... I just have to know.

Thanks. I thought it looked real but couldn't imagine the purpose. But it is
entertaining. I certainly find the picture funny. Now I can forward the
photo to others in good conscience.
