Pedro helicopter “02” lifts off to join Marine Transport Squadron 1’s other two HH-46 helicopters on their final flight at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, N.C., Sept. 25, 2015.

Pedro Helicopter “02” squats patiently at Miller’s Landing moments before its crew receives the order to launch on its final flight at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, N.C., Sept. 25, 2015. This flight conducted with its two remaining fellow aircraft, will be the final “phrog” flight for the Department of Defense.
