How do militaries recover a damaged fighter jet without causing more damage? At Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni in Japan, U.S. Marines train using a real F/A-18 Hornet to practice rapid aircraft recovery. This behind-the-scenes process requires precision, teamwork, and a deep understanding of balance and weight distribution. From securing the jet’s center of gravity to lifting it with a crane, every second counts. A rare look at how fighter jets are safely moved under real-world conditions.  *Music credit :  No Copyright Music Title : Sailing Artist : Anno Domini Beats  #FighterJet #MilitaryLogistics #USMarines #FA18 #AircraftRecovery #MilitaryTraining
