    An AH-1W Super Cobra with Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 169, 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing (Forward) rests staged next to a UH-60A Black Hawk at Forward Operating Base Dwyer, Afghanistan. The Cobra is one of several stationed at FOB Dwyer as part of a HMLA-169 detachment, which provides quick-response close air support for coalition and Afghan forces within the area. Marines of the squadron frequently lend maintenance support as well as armed escorts for the Black Hawk crew and pilots of the Charlie Company 214th Aviation Regiment "Dustoff."

    GALLERY

    A nighttime photograph taken from below a U.S. Marines military aircraft, showing the underside of the fuselage or wing with 'MARINES' stenciled in large gray letters. Visible on the left side is a weapons pylon loaded with what appear to be multiple missiles or rockets. The image is lit by an artificial light source from the lower left, with the surrounding environment in near-total darkness.
    The image shows military helicopters on a desert forward operating base or airfield. In the foreground, a light gray helicopter (marked with the number '3') is equipped with what appears to be a multi-barrel rotary cannon mounted beneath its fuselage. In the background, a dark olive/green UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter marked with a red cross medical symbol is visible on the same landing pad.
    A door-mounted machine gun is visible inside an aircraft in flight, with an ammunition belt loaded in a feed tray. The view through the open door shows an arid, flat landscape below with a river or waterway visible, consistent with a desert or semi-arid region. The aircraft appears to be at significant altitude based on the aerial perspective.
