    Jay Dunn (left) and Grady Geske, both former Marines and CH-46 pilots, untie the maile lei during a retirement ceremony for a CH-46E at Hangar 79, Nov. 6, 2014. Service members and civilians attended a sunset ceremony honoring the CH-46E Sea Knight at the Pacific Aviation Museum aboard Ford Island. The Marine Corps will finish phasing out the Sea Knight by next year. The aircraft at the ceremony is now part of the museum’s aircraft collection. Coincidentally, the Marines of Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 364 took their last flight with the CH-46E at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton Oct. 29. Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron 164 will retire its Sea Knights in April 2015, and Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron 774 will follow later in the year. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Kristen Wong)
