Naval Air Station Keflavik, Iceland. (Aug. 16, 2003) -- Aviation Ordnanceman 1st Class Mark Mainland, of Racine, Wis., loads an under-water surveillance sonobuoy into an ejection chute a P-3C Orion assigned to "The Liberty Bells" of Patrol Squadron Sixty Six (VP-66) during Keflavik Tactical Exchange 2003 (KEFTACEX 03). The sonobuoys act as detection devices that relay an array of data regarding submarines that are being tracked by the aircraft. Severn countries are participating in the annual anti-submarine warfare exercise.  VP-66 from Naval Air Station Willow Grove, Penn., is the only squadron comprised entirely of Naval Reservists.
