Something is off with this (aside from the black tank) USMC F/A-18C's 164731 of VX-31 "Dust Devils" on final Pt. Mugu, during Grey Flag, September 2025. Post responses in comments #FA18C #GreyFlag #photography #aircraft #VX31 #DustDevils #aircraft #nasptmugu #Nikon #Z9 #avgeek #photography #cvvhrn

@cvvhrn Um, is that front landing gear supposed to look like that?

edit: Hmm, I guess it is. I assume the rod that's not connected at the other end is for towing?

@mattblaze @pauliehedron is correct. It is the launch bar they hook into the shuttle of the catapult

Catapult hookup perhaps? It's a Marine plane.
