Keep 'em Flying
A modern fighter aircraft requires dozens of hours of maintenance for every hour flown. Behind each pilot and RIO aboard a U.S. Navy aircraft are dozens of technicians, logistics personnel and support staff that work around-the-clock to keep a jet, such as this F/A-18 Super Hornet, airworthy.

Landing aboard an aircraft carrier underway is an unforgettable experience. The flight crew aboard this C-2 Greyhound watches over passengers and cargo alike for this Carrier Onboard Delivery, known as COD for short, over the North Sea.
