Much more interesting, I happened to just be going down a Google Maps wormhole and was looking at NAS North Island, San Diego. Someone’s had an unplanned end to their sortie on runway 36.
Indeed, the port wingtips missing!!
Actually, looking closely you can see he's taken the cable too.
Google shows its probably an aircraft that was involved in a collision in Nov 2016.
The other F18 involved crashed but the pilot is reported as being rescued.
