A U.S. Navy McDonnell Douglas F/A-18A Hornet from Strike Fighter Squadron VFA-161 Chargers about to launch from the flight deck of the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise (CVN-65) on 1 July 1987. The carrier was en route to the Sea Fair Festival in Seattle, Washington (USA). VFA-161 was assigned to the short-lived Carrier Air Wing 10 (CVW-10, tail code "NM"). It was established in November 1986 and should have been assigned to the USS Independence (CV-62). However, it was only once deployed on the Enterprise for a short tour along the US Pacific coast and was disestablished again with all squadrons in November 1988.
