Suggest a Feature →Aircraft Maintenance
Every Marine air-to-ground sortie starts with a maintainer's signature on a logbook. Marine aviation maintainers operate with fewer personnel and less support than any other service — and somehow keep jets flying.
The AV-8B Harrier — with its unique vectored-thrust system — has a maintenance-hours-per-flight-hour ratio of approximately 30:1. Marine maintainers sustain this demanding workload with fewer personnel than any other service's aviation community.
