An EA-18G Growler from the Navy’s Air Test and Evaluation Squadron Nine (VX-9) banks sharply as it performs a carrier break over Naval Base Ventura County Point Mugu in Southern California, returning from a training mission over the Point Mugu Sea Range on Aug. 9, 2023. A carrier break is a standard pattern that pilots fly when approaching an aircraft carrier for landing. VX-9 is based at Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake in California, and is also known by its nickname, the Vampires. ( Navy photo by Eric Parsons/Released)
