Ricardo Deleon, an airframes worker on the Fleet Readiness Center East (FRCE) H-1 production line at Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) New River, secures an AH-1Z helicopter to a trailer for transportation to MCAS Cherry Point for cleaning. The move marked the first use of FRCE’s new double drop trailer – commonly called a lowboy – which stands to help FRCE save money and reduce turnaround time by simplifying movement of aircraft and other heavy equipment between the depot’s sites.
