 If you look closely at F-A-8 teams, you'll notice names are stamped onto them. This name belongs to the pilot leaving the cockpit. Lance Corporal Corey Helton wants his name on one of these jets, but first he has to deal with the task at hand. They had something wrong with the landing gear, I believe, and they're going to have to jack the aircraft off the ground. It's got to be below 10,000 pounds, so we're draining the external tanks and getting underneath that waste so they can jack it up. He's a power liner, which means he inspects jets and makes sure they can fly. But he's also working toward becoming a plane captain. Also known as PCs, part of their responsibility includes operating as the pilot's second set of eyes. They ensure people aren't at the wrong place at the wrong time. He'll let you know if he gets in close. It takes Marines like Helton to keep these aircraft in disguise. PCs are also responsible for all of their required pre-flight checks before the pilot gets in. What that basically absolves the pilot of doing is a completely, a very detailed check. That way a pilot can just do a walk around, check a couple of things we look for, and then jump in the cockpit. By the time we get in the cockpit, everything's set up. The PCs got it. I mean, without them, we wouldn't be flying. I mean, it's the bottom line. I mean, to the paperwork, in the S shops, to the maintainers downstairs that work again, they work those 12-hour shifts, too. Just like many of the jobs on this flight line, being a PC is a heavy responsibility. Multi-million-dollar aircrafts and the lives of the Marines in them, why would anyone want that kind of pressure? Being asked to the shop, be able to help out, it's a pride thing, being a PC. Everybody's got to come to me before they can go up to the jet, and I think it would be cool. The name at the bottom of the aircraft honors the PC, like this one, and one day Lance Corporal Corey Helton's name will fly just as high as the rest of them.
