Waxman Staff Writer May 27, 2015 10:20 PM UTC A seagull photobombed an image of Red Arrows, Royal Air Force planes that do acrobatics displays, at the Llandudno Air Show in North Wales. The bird is so perfectly aligned with the planes that it looks like it is powered by its own engine in this picture taken Saturday by Jade Coxon, an 18-year-old photography student at the University of Chester. “It was mainly luck,” she told [_The Telegraph_](http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/11631700/Best-photobomb-ever-Seagull-steals-the-show-from-Red-Arrows-display-team.html)_._ Seagulls have a history of photobombing [horse races](http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/early-lead/wp/2014/07/10/seagull-photobombs-horse-races-photo-finish/), [family photos](http://www.kentonline.co.uk/folkestone/news/feathers-ruffled-as-seagull-photobombs-20959/) and [traffic cameras](http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/local-news/photobombing-seagull-caught-traffic-camera-3419501).

Roosevelt in 1945\. It was equipped with a radio telephone, sleeping area, and elevator for President Roosevelt's wheelchair. Thomas D. McAvoy—The LIFE Picture Collection/Getty Images  In 1947, Sacred Cow was replaced with Independence by President Truman, who named it after his hometown. The Douglas DC-6 Liftmaster's nose was painted as a bald eagle. Truman Presidential Library  President Eisenhower added Columbine II, a Lockheed C-121 Super Constellation, to the Presidential fleet in 1953. William J.
