PACIFIC OCEAN (March 14, 2007) -- Members of Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 14 and other flight deck personnel participate in a manual "push back" of an F/A-18E Super Hornet, assigned to the "Eagles" of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 115, aboard Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76). Push backs are necessary to move many aircraft backward because they don't have a way to reverse independently. Ronald Reagan Carrier Strike Group and embarked Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 14 are underway in support of operations in the western Pacific.
