070314-N-3659B-155 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. Navy photo by Mass Communication
