Cpl. Dale Okkerse, right, Marine Attack Squadron 311 powerline mechanic, oversees Seaman Russell Hoyt, aviation fuel specialist for the USS Peleliu, as he refuels one of the squadron’s AV-8B Harriers Feb. 9, 2010, during the squadron’s aircraft carrier qualifications aboard the Peleliu. Approximately 10 pilots and 15 support and maintenance personnel participated in the exercise. The squadron practiced Harrier operations aboard the aircraft carrier from Feb. 8-11, including night flights, in preparation for the squadron’s upcoming deployment aboard the Peleliu with the 15th Marine Expeditionary in May. “One thing about training on the carrier is that it’s not just the pilots that are getting trained, but the maintainers and sailors as well,” said Capt. Eric Fong, squadron pilot.
