An F/A-18C Hornet from the “Fist of the Fleet” Strike Fighter Squadron 25 launches off catapult four recently. This launch was the last waist catapult launch of the last daylight cycle prior to the beginning of night operations. These F-18s typically require an average of three separate air refueling sessions, all accomplished by KC-135s assigned to the 379th Air Expeditionary Wing. The USS Ronald Reagan is currently deployed to the U.S. Naval Forces Central Command, U.S. Fifth Fleet, area of responsibility. Operations in the AOR are focused on reassuring regional partners of the United States’ commitment to security, which promotes stability and global prosperity. All of this is made possible by the continuous cooperation among sister services. (U.S. Navy photo by Petty Officer 3rd Class Gary Prill, Navy Visual News Service)
