Summary
Maj. Timothy Schnelle, the executive officer for Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 361 and a Merrick, N.Y., native, watches a CH-53E Super Stallion land aboard Marine Corps Air Station Miramar Oct. 12. Marines with HMH-361 flew out to a helicopter dock to conduct field-carrier landing practice, simulating ship lift offs and landings. Before each lift off, Marines go through extensive mission planning to prevent aircraft discrepancies. Experienced pilots with the squadron brief Marines aboard the flight before each mission on how to react in the event of a mishap.
