Fighter mock-up (Birds Eye)
I see these on other aircraft carriers that are in port. I'm guessing it is used to test equipment on board the ship. Looks like an F-18 fuselage.

I think it is missing it's outer wing panels.

It's missing it's horizontal stabilizer too.

Uncle 'Admiral' says it's a dud F-18 used for flight deck director training.
