Moving line centralizes H-46 work at NADEP Cherry Point
At Cherry Point NADEP, 13 H-46 Sea Knight helicopters join a heavy fourth quarter repair schedule. The depot converted its H-46 production line from stall maintenance to a moving line in eight hours, consolidating tasks in one hangar. The change boosts hangar space use, reduces turnaround time, and improves visibility and quick problem flagging across sites.

Moondogs Ready for Med Mission Aboard USS America
The VMAQ-3 Marines aboard USS America completed a strenuous four week certification cycle with Carrier Air Wing One. They flew over 200 sorties in a three day war style evaluation, coping with heat, noise, and tight crew conditions. A three day liberty at Saint Martin refreshed the squadron before Fleet Week in New York and further operations with the Air Force and Army. The unit prepares for a Mediterranean and Persian Gulf tour in August.
