Christopher Lemke, a mechanic with Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 369, and a native of Macomb, Mich., looks into the "hell hole" underneath a UH-1Y Huey helicopter at Camp Bastion, Afghanistan. Lemke discovered a previously unknown issue inside the tight space that represented an extreme risk to the aircraft and aircrew.
