A U.S. Marine Corps AV-8B Harrier aircraft, assigned to Marine Attack Squadron (VMA) 311, takes off from the flight deck of the amphibious assault ship USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD 6) in the Coral Sea, Aug. 22, 2017. VMA-311 concluded its farewell tour with the Bonhomme Richard Expeditionary Strike Group (BHR ESG) and the 31st Marine Expeditionary Strike Group (MEU) as the ESG transitions to F-35B Lightning II Joint Strike Fighters in the winter of 2017. Bonhomme Richard, flagship of the BHR ESG, is operating in the Indo-Asia Pacific region to enhance partnerships and be a ready-response force for any type of contingency.
