Staff Sgt. Terrance L. Underwood (bottom) and Sgt. Uchenna N. Obiora inspect the top of a CH-53D Sea Stallion at Al Asad, Iraq, Oct. 6. 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. Underwood is the airframes staff noncommissioned officer-in-charge, and Obiora is the airframes collateral duty inspector. Both Marines are with Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 463, Marine Aircraft Group 16 (Reinforced), 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing. Underwood is a native of Wichita, Kan., and Obiora hails from Chicago.
