In this Wednesday, April 25, 2018, photo, flight operations mechanic Shawn Edwards, left, removes the left-hand flap shroud from the wing of a 13-year-old F/A-18 Super Hornet in St. Louis. This fighter aircraft, at the end of its original lifespan, was used by the U.S. Navy Gladiators Strike Fighter Squadron based out of Virginia Beach, Va. It is the first Super Hornet of many, set to undergo updates and maintenance to keep it in the fleet for another dozen years. (AP Photo/Ted Shaffrey)
