Marines prepare two Marine Corps CH-46E Sea Knight helicopters with Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron 161, Marine Aircraft Group 16, 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, to be “swallowed” by a mammoth, open-mouthed U.S. Air Force C-5 Galaxy on the flight line Aug. 15 at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, Calif. The C-5 will carry the dual-rotor, medium lift assault helicopters to Iraq where they will join the rest of the squadron in continued support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Photo by Cpl. Paul Leicht
