150420-N-YL257-101 ATLANTIC OCEAN (April 20, 2015) An F/A-18E Super Hornet attached to the "Salty Dogs" of Air Test and Evaluation Squadron (VX) 23 prepares to land on the flight deck of the aircraft carrier USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77) as part of the at-sea testing of Maritime Augmented Guidance with Integrated Controls for Carrier Approach (Magic Carpet). Magic Carpet is designed to make landing on an aircraft carrier easier by maintaining a commanded glideslope and angle of attack, giving the pilot the opportunity to focus more attention on maintaining a proper line-up. George H.W. Bush is conducting training exercises in the Atlantic Ocean. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist Seaman Christopher D. Gaines/Released)
