U.S. Air Force Master Sgt. Jashaun Hightower, special missions aviator with the 703rd Helicopter Squadron, 908th Flying Training Wing, Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama, observes the ground prior to landing during a MH-139A Grey Wolf training flight, April 22, 2025. One of the roles for SMAs is to perform visual terrain and obstacle clearance checks, ensuring the landing zone is clear of hazards like trees, wires, uneven ground, or personnel. This provides real-time guidance to the pilots, helping maintain situational awareness and ensuring a safe, precise landing—especially in unimproved or tactical environments.
