Col. Guy M. Close, commanding officer of Marine Aircraft Group 16, 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, waves his arm out of the window of a CH-46E Sea Knight as it comes in for a landing at Al Asad, Iraq, Aug. 11. Close flew with Lt. Col. John R. Parker, commanding officer of Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron 261, MAG-16. With the squadron due to rotate back from Iraq soon, the 'Raging Bulls' commemorated 50,000 mishap-free flight hours and the 40th birthday of the 'Phrogs' with a flyover, flying all 12 aircraft over of Al Asad.
