Great photos.

I was surprised by several things:
1. F-18s in the boneyard. Hadn't thought of them as that old or

The first F/A-18As entered service over 22 years ago. When compared
to something like a B-52, that seems young, but carrier based aircraft
really take a beating. They're not expected to last nearly as long as
their land-based counterparts.
