Cpl. Vigay D. Jacob inspects the top of a CH-53D Sea Stallion at Al Asad, Iraq, Sept. 26. During the turnover of the aircraft from one squadron to the next, Marines must go over each and every component on the aircraft, inspecting it, as well as finding the serial numbers to make sure they have been serialized correctly. This process takes roughly six hours per plane. Jacob is an avionics technician with Marine Heavy Helicopter 463, Marine Aircraft Group 16 (Reinforced), 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing (Forward). He is a native of Hicksville, N.Y.
