NASA FA-18

This photo shows the entire bird. When the Navy thinks that an FA-18 is getting to old for carrier landings, they give it to the Blue Angels. The Blues don't do carrier landings and fly the fighters light (stripped down) so they are useful as airshow performers for a time. When the Blues are finished with them, NASA gets them. I looked all around and couldn't find a walker for them to get around with. Actually, they still look like they are in great shape. I'm trying to convince NASA that when they are finished with them, they should give one to me. It would look great on top of a pedestal in my front yard! I'm sure the neighbors would agree. You can view my Blues ride by going to Stan Stokes Blue Angel ride.
