Lance Cpl. Jonathan Ruiz, a crew chief with Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 363, and a Yucca Valley, Calif., native looks below the MV-22B Osprey as the pilots land the aircraft aboard Marine Corps Air Station Yuma, Calif., Ariz., Nov. 1. Pilots are unable to see below the aircraft, so crew chiefs watch to ensure nothing is below the aircraft that may be damaged.
