How a U.S. Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet carrier fighter aircraft managed to get stranded in Afghanistan isn't clear, but the U.S. Air Force had a unique solution for getting it back to home base in San Diego: A ride in a cargo plane.

A highlight reel of your life probably looks like this: sleep, work, occasional sex, sleep, free Crazy Bread with your pizza. The highlight reel of the F/A-18 Super Hornet pilots on the USS Enterprise aircraft carrier looks like this.
