Description
English: A Navy aircraft director from the USS Green Bay signals for Maj. Bill Rothermel, AV-8B Harrier test pilot with Air Test and Evaluation Squadron 31, to take off from Auxiliary Airfield 2 in Yuma, Ariz., Nov. 5, 2009. The squadron and the USS Green Bay flight deck crew practiced working together at the airfield, which simulates the deck of a ship, to prepare for their upcoming testing period aboard the Green Bay. The Green Bay, commissioned January 2009, is part of the Navy’s new class of amphibious transport dock ship built specifically for helicopter operations. The squadron tested Harrier operations aboard the ship Nov. 11-15, 2009, to ensure that its design doesn’t inhibit use by Harriers in case of emergencies. Since the Green Bay is intended for helicopter use, many of its flight crew are inexperienced working with Harriers. “A lot of our crew members are very new to the fleet and many have never worked with jets before,” said Petty Officer 1st Class Albaro Rodriguez, USS Green Bay aviation fuel technician. “This is giving them a good chance to get prepared for possible emergency situations.”
