    A U.S. Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet (bureau number 106) is captured mid-launch or low-altitude flight just off the deck of an aircraft carrier over open ocean. The aircraft has its landing gear fully extended and is carrying external fuel tanks and ordnance on its hardpoints. The image was taken from the carrier deck level, providing a close perspective of the jet against a partly cloudy sky.

    A U.S. Navy F-18F Super Hornet, assigned to Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 154, takes off the flight deck of Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71) during Exercise Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) July 14, 2026. Thirty nations, over 30 surface ships, five submarines, 15 national land forces, more than 206 aircraft and 30,000 personnel are participating in RIMPAC in and around the Hawaiian Islands, June 24 to July 31. The world’s largest international maritime exercise, RIMPAC provides a unique training opportunity while fostering and sustaining cooperative relationships among participants critical to ensuring safety of sea lanes and security on the world’s oceans. RIMPAC 2026 is the 30th exercise in the series that began in 1971. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist Seaman Tyler Harstad)

    A nighttime scene on an aircraft carrier flight deck showing deck crew personnel and at least one fixed-wing aircraft, illuminated by red and green light streaks consistent with a long-exposure photograph. The image captures the dynamic, high-intensity environment of carrier flight operations after dark. Light trails suggest movement of aircraft or deck equipment during the exposure.
