Capt. Alex Runyan, of Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 169, pilots a UH-1Y Venom past the historic USS Missouri and USS Arizona memorial July 7, during cross-cockpit training with Capt. Jonathan Chunn (not pictured), CH-53E pilot with Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 463 as part of harbor phase, Rim of the Pacific 2012. Multiple detachments of aviation and support units will be assigned to HMH 463 (reinforced) during RIMPAC 12 to comprise the aviation combat element of Special Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force 3. "Cross-cockpit training gives us a better understanding of each other's perspective and capabilities when we're working together," said Runyan. Approximately 2,200 personnel from 9 nations comprise SPMAGTF-3, Combined Force Land Component Command. The CFLCC is conducting amphibious and land-based operations in order to enhance multinational and joint interoperability.
