III MARINE EXPEDITIONARY FORCE
Okinawa, Japan

Mar 24, 2019

A U.S. Marine Corps CH-53 Super Stallion helicopter, assigned to Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 465, prepares for take-off from the flight line of Marine Corps Air Station Futenma, Okinawa, Japan, Mar. 7, 2019. This aircraft underwent a combined Planned Maintenance Interval (PMI) and H-53 Reset event at Fleet Readiness Center Western Pacific. Combining the CH-53E PMI and reset events greatly reduces the amount of time a CH-53E spends out of service allowing the aircraft to be available for operational commitments.
