Parked HornetThis nice-looking F/A-18 hornet belongs to the Commanding Officer of Strike Fighter Squadron 87, the Golden Warriors. All Navy aircraft equipped for carriers have collapsible wings to allow for maneuverability and premium parking in the hangar bay and on the flight deck. The pods suspended from the plane's weapons racks and hanging from the overhead are spare fuel canisters for those extra-long scenic flights over terrorist country.
