Workers adjust a sling holding an F/A-18 Hornet aircraft formerly flown by NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center, Edwards, California, during operations to mount the airframe for display in front of the municipal baseball stadium on Lancaster, California. The F/A-18 was used as a safety chase and support aircraft prior to its recent retirement. The aircraft is now mounted nose skyward on a 28-foot-tall pedestal in front of the stadium. The stadium, known as "The Hangar," is the home field of the Lancaster Jethawks, a Class-A farm team of the Seattle Mariners.
