Nellis Became Emergency Landing Spot



Over the weekend Nellis Air Force Base became an emergency landing zone for fuel tanks. Reports state that a pilot ejected the external fuel tanks of the Canadian version of an F-18 during a flight near Vegas. The tanks reportedly landed near the base, but officials have yet to determine what caused the aircraft to experience any trouble.
