Capt. Michael Cassidy, Marine Attack Squadron 311 pilot, lands vertically on the flight deck of the USS Peleliu Feb. 8, 2010 during the squadron's aircraft carrier qualifications. 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. “Trying to land on something that’s constantly moving is always more difficult,” said Capt. Eric Fong, squadron pilot. "It's good to get all this practice in."
