Military aviation serves many purposes, to include troop and gear movement, medical evacuations, surveillance, and most importantly, combat support.

Corporal Fareeza Ali took to the flight line to take a look at how VMA-542’s Harriers are transformed into lethal fighting machines. Soundbites include Marines from East Moline, Ill. and Titusville, Fla.
