Titre : Retired NASA F-18 being mounted on pedestal mount at Lancaster California Municipal Baseball Stadium - The Hangar

Description : (La description de cette image n'existe qu'en anglais)

While workers on the ground steady the craft with guy ropes, workers atop a high-lift truck align the mounting plates as an F/A-18 Hornet airplane formerly flown by NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center is mounted on a 28-foot-tall pedestal in front of the municipal baseball stadium in the city of Lancaster, California. The aircraft was loaned to the city for pulbic display after its recent retirement by Dryden, which is located at nearby Edwards, California. The blue-and-white twin-jet aircraft was flown as a safety chase and support aircraft by NASA Dryden for about nine years before being retired. Known as ''The Hangar,'' the stadium is the home field of the Lancaster Jethawks, a Class-A farm team of the Seattle Mariners.
