An aviation ordnance technician checks the missiles of an AH-1W Super
Cobra one last time before it lifts off to go on a mission, April 7.
Another ordnance Marine keeps an eye on the pilots to ensure they are
keeping their hands off the controls and in the air as a safety
measure. All the Marines are from Marine Light Attack Helicopter
Squadron 167, Marine Aircraft Group 16, 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, from
Marine Corps Air Station New River, N.C., which is in Iraq in support
of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
