Members of the 451st Expeditionary Logistics Readiness Squadron aerial port flight and 22nd Airlift Squadron look over the load plan as they prepare to load an F/A-18 Super Hornet onto a C-5 Galaxy on Kandahar Airfield, Afghanistan, Aug. 18, 2011. This marked the first time ever that a U.S. fighter jet had been successfully loaded into a cargo aircraft for transport back to the United States. After months of coordination and planning, senior leaders at the Navy’s Naval Air Forces and the Air Force’s Air Mobility Command approved a plan to transport the aircraft back to its home station at Naval Air Station North Island near San Diego, Calif.
