Caption:

Aviation Ordnance Marines give signals to the pilots of a AH-1W Super Cobra while they do a last minute check of the helicopter's weapons systems, April 7.  The pilots keep their hands above their heads as a safety precaution while the ordnance Marines check the systems. The Marines are from Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 167, which sent a small contingent of helicopters and personnel to Al Taqaddum air base in support of Operation Vigilant Resolve.
