HORNETS OVER CALIFORNIA AND A WASP IN MAINE: A two-fer. The F/A-18Es were aloft on March 12, 2019. Why? To have their picture taken. (Hey, pilots need flight hours.) The USS Wasp photo dates from 1942. The carrier was anchored in Casco Bay, Maine. A the caption notes, you can see SB2U and F4F aircraft on its flight deck.
