If I understand correctly, what you're describing would not work, for a couple reasons.

1. The gradient (fade) that's in the center of the main background would still be there, so the aerial image would not be visible where the gradient is.

2. The top of the content area (the "box" that contains the logo, navigation menu, article, etc.) is not always in the same vertical location on the screen, due to different sizes of ads that appear at different times. So it would be impossible to have the part of the aerial image that's on the header always line up perfectly with the part of the image that would be on the main background.
