CAMP FALLUJAH, Iraq – The crew of an AH-1W Super Cobra conducts a
post-flight rundown of their helicopter here July 2. The Cobra, and the
CH-46E Sea Knight transport helicopter in the background, stood by for
possible casualty evacuation missions recently. Due to inclement
weather at their base Camp Taqaddum, the pre-positioning marked the
first time the helicopters and their crews, assigned to Marine Aircraft
Group 26, 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing (FWD), used the landing zones for a
more rapid aerial response to those injured in the battlefield.
