A Marine gives signals to the pilots of a CH-53 Super Stallion before taking off for a ceremony at Marine Corps Air Station New River, N.C., May 17, 2017. The ceremony marks the reopening of Landing Zone Vulture, which closed Sept. 2, 2015 after a CH-53 crashed resulting in the death of one Marine. The instructors took the opportunity to memorialize their fallen Marine, Staff Sgt. Jonathan Lewis, through the sustainment rappel. The Marines are with EOTG, II Marine Expeditionary Force Headquarters Group.
