Cpl. Jonathan Prince, Marine Attack Squadron 214 powerline mechanic, stands in front of the squadron commander's AV-8B Harrier with his name painted on the gear doors May 13, 2010, at the Marine Corps Air Station in Yuma, Ariz. “Not a lot of people get to have their names on the plane,” said Prince, 23, smiling as he looked at the polished Harrier outside the squadron’s hangar. Prince's name was painted on the jet because of his abilities as plane captain. During his deployment to Afghanistan, Prince, a native of Lexington, N.C., located an engine problem that nearly went undiscovered. The damage was such that the Harrier, and its pilot, may have been lost.
