    Fleet Readiness Center East aircraft mechanical parts repairer work leader Ashley Dixon, left, and aircraft mechanical parts repairer Ashton Brinson torque the pinion nuts on a first-stage planetary gear, part of the main rotor gearbox on a CH-53E Super Stallion. The planetary gear produces torque in the main rotor gearbox, which helps provide lift for the helicopter. Dixon and Brinson used their experience in repairing H-53 gearboxes to provide expert practical guidance for forward-deployed Marines aboard the USS Bataan who needed to repair a damaged accessory bevel drive gear in a CH-53E main rotor gearbox.
