Summary

Description
English: Indian Ocean (Sept. 21, 2004) - Sparks fly from the tailhook of an F/A-18C Hornet assigned to the "Fist of the Fleet" of Strike Fighter Squadron Two Five (VFA-25) as full power is applied after making a "bolter" aboard the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74). A bolter is when the aircraft's tailhook fails to catch an arresting wire, causing the aircraft to apply full power and go back around for another try at landing. Stennis and embarked Carrier Air Wing Fourteen (CVW-14) are currently participating in a scheduled deployment to the Western Pacific Ocean.
