220521-N-JO823-1016 PACIFIC OCEAN (May 21, 2022) Aviation Structural Mechanic Airman Gage Engle, assigned to the Diamondbacks of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 102, and a native of Wichita, Kansas, loads a spare jet tire of an F/A-18F Super Hornet onto a pallet aboard the U.S. Navy’s only forward-deployed aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76). Ronald Reagan and Carrier Air Wing (CAG) 5 are conducting carrier qualifications to certify the ship and embarked squadrons are fully capable for at sea flight operations. Ronald Reagan, the flagship of Carrier Strike Group 5, provides a combat-ready force that protects and defends the United States, and supports alliances, partnerships and collective maritime interests in the Indo-Pacific region.
