This is a picture? What plane can carry it?

A B-52 or a B-2 Spirit (shown below)

Nice picture, but BLU-82's are dropped from cargo planes. However, a B-2 Spirit can carry 16
GBU-32 JDAM (2000lbs) or 80 GBU-30 JDAM (500lbs). Each JDAM programmed to hit distinct,
serparate targets.

JDAM being deployed from a B-2 Spirit. The B-2 is a likely delivery platform, perhaps as soon as tonight. These awsome machines frequent the skies over my house on a fairly regular basis. I never get tired of seeing them. They send a shiver down my back to this day.

Like the Daisy Cutter, MOAB is shoved out the back of a cargo aircraft (usually a C-130, but since the MOAB uses GPS and higher altitude drops, the C-17 can probably be used as well.)
